What You’ll Need:
- Liquid laundry detergent
- Warm water
- Soft scrub brush
- White cloth or paper towels
- Spot-cleaning solvent or enzyme-based product
Steps to Remove Gravy Stains from Shantung:
- Dab the stain with a white cloth or paper towel to absorb as much of gravy as possible. Do not rub the stain, as this will only further set it into the fabric.
- Mix a small amount of liquid laundry detergent with warm water, and use a soft scrub brush to gently apply mixture to the stained area. Allow the solution to soak in for 10 minutes.
- Rinse with cold water until all of residue is removed. If the stain is still visible, apply a spot-cleaning solvent or enzyme-based product to the fabric, and let it sit for 10-15 minutes before rinsing again.
Tips for Success:
- Always test any cleaning product or solvent on a small, hidden area of the fabric first, to ensure it won't damage material.
- Never mix bleach or other harsh chemicals with detergents while treating a stain, as this could cause permanent harm to the fabric.
- Be sure to read the manufacturer's instructions on any cleaning product you use.
- When in doubt, take your shantung fabric to a professional dry cleaner for stain removal.
