Step 1: Blotting

The first step in cleaning a gravy stain from silk dupioni is to blot the area with a soft, white cloth. Make sure to only blot the stain—do not rub or scrub, as this can cause damage to the fabric.

Step 2: Apply Detergent

Once you have blotted as much of gravy stain as you can, use a mild detergent to pre-treat the stain. You can use a small amount of detergent applied directly to stained area, or you can mix detergent with water to create a solution that can be applied with a cloth. Let the detergent sit on the stain for 5–10 minutes.

Step 3: Rinse With Cold Water

After pre-treating stain with detergent, rinse the area with cold water. Again, make sure to only blot the area to remove any excess detergent. You can also use a damp cloth to blot area if necessary.

Step 4: Clean With a Gentle Solution

Now that you have rinsed area, it's time to clean the stain with a gentle solution. You can mix equal parts white vinegar and water to create a safe cleaning solution. Apply the solution to the stained area with a soft cloth, then let it sit for 10–15 minutes.

Step 5: Rinse Again

Once you have let the vinegar and water solution sit on the stain, rinse the area again with cold water. Again, make sure to only blot the area to remove any excess solution. You can also use a damp cloth to blot the area.

Step 6: Air Dry and Fluff Up the Fabric

Finally, allow the garment to air dry before fluffing up the fabric. You can use a cloth to gently fluff up the fabric, or you can use a hair dryer set to low heat. Once the fabric is dry, the gravy stain should be gone!
