Silk habotai is delicate and beautiful, but can be easily damaged by certain chemicals. Insect repellent is one of these chemicals, so if any has accidentally been spilled on your habotai fabric, it's important to act fast and follow the steps below for the best possible results.
Use a dry, white cloth or paper towel to blot the stain as soon as possible. Do not rub the fabric, as this could cause it to rub off on the cloth or paper towel and make the stain even worse.
Mix together one tablespoon of mild, white dish soap with two cups of lukewarm water. This will create an effective but gentle cleaning solution that won't damage the fabric.
Next, dip cloth or paper towel into the cleaning solution and gently apply it to the stain in a dabbing motion. Do not rub or scrub the fabric, as this could damage it further.
Once you have applied the cleaning solution to the stain, rinse the fabric with lukewarm water. You may need to repeat the process several times to achieve complete success.
Finally, use a clean, dry cloth to pat the fabric dry. Be sure to pat gently and avoid rubbing the fabric.
