If you can, pretreat the stain with a laundry detergent that contains enzymes before washing it 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.
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.
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.
Rinse the fabric in cold water to remove any remaining solution and repeat Steps Three and Four until the stain is gone.
Allow the fabric to air dry or use a low heat setting on the dryer.
Never do laundry again. Save time for things you ❤️
