Silk charmeuse is a type of lightweight silk fabric with a satin finish. It can be used to make beautiful, luxurious pieces of clothing or curtains. Unfortunately, grease and oil stains can ruin its smooth texture and aesthetic. Fortunately, you can make your silk charmeuse look as good as new by following these simple steps:
Step 1: Pretreat the Stain
Use a few drops of a mild detergent or liquid dish soap and then use a soft brush to work the soap into the stain. Then, let the fabric sit for 10 minutes.
Step 2: Wash the Fabric
Handwash the fabric in lukewarm water with a mild detergent. Be gentle when rubbing the fabric together and don’t twist or wring it out.
Step 3: Dry the Silk Charmeuse
Lay the fabric flat on a towel and allow it to air dry. Avoid direct sunlight as this can discolor the fabric.
Following these steps should remove most grease and oil stains. However, if the stain persists, professional dry cleaning may be necessary.
