When you wear a delicate fabric like silk chiffon that’s been treated with insect repellent, it’s inevitable that some spills will occur. Don't stress! Here are some techniques to remove the stain without damaging your beautiful fabric.

Gently blot up as much of the stain as possible with a clean, absorbent cloth. Do not scrub or rub the fabric together, as this could cause further damage.
In a large bowl, mix together the warm water, detergent, and white vinegar. Make sure that it is evenly combined.
Gently submerge the stained area of the fabric in the solution and let sit for 10 minutes. Do not allow fabric to soak for any longer than 10 minutes, as this could cause damage to the fabric.
Once fabric has soaked for 10 minutes, rinse with cold water and gently blot away excess moisture with a clean, absorbent cloth.
If the stain is still present, pour or spray hydrogen peroxide onto the stain, being cautious not to saturate the fabric. Let it sit for 5 minutes and then rinse with cold water.
Once fabric has been rinsed thoroughly, allow it to air dry, preferably in a shaded area.
Never do laundry again. Save time for things you ❤️
