What You'll Need:
- Laundry Detergent
- White Vinegar
- Borax
- Hydrogen Peroxide
- Ammonia
- Sponge
- Toothbrush
Step One: Pre-Treat the Stain
If you can, pretreat the stain with a laundry detergent that contains enzymes before washing it in hot water.
Step Two: Wash in Hot Water
Wash the fabric in hot water after pre-treating it. Make sure to follow the instructions on the Peau de Soie care label for washing. This will help ensure that the garment is not damaged.
Step Three: Make a Solution
Mix equal parts of white vinegar, borax, hydrogen peroxide, and ammonia in a bowl. Use a sponge to apply the solution to the stain, making sure to cover all the stained areas.
Step Four: Brush it Out
Using a toothbrush, scrub the solution into the fabric in a circular motion until stain is gone. Be sure to be gentle, as scraping too hard can damage the fabric.
Step Five: Rinse and Repeat
Rinse the fabric in cold water to remove any remaining solution and repeat Steps Three and Four until the stain is gone.
Step Six: Dry the Fabric
Allow the fabric to air dry or use a low heat setting on the dryer.
