How to Remove a Ketchup Stain from Silk Dupioni
- Blot stain with a damp cloth or paper towel. Do not scrub or rub the stain, as this can cause it to spread.
- Mix together a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water. Apply the solution to the stain and allow it to sit for at least 10 minutes.
- Take a toothbrush dipped in the vinegar and water solution and scrub the stain gently. This will help to lift the stain from the fabric.

Tips for Removing Ketchup Stains from Silk Dupioni
- If the stain is still there after following steps above, you can apply a small amount of dish soap directly to the stain and rub it in with a toothbrush. Then rinse the area with cold water and blot it dry.
- If the stain won't come out, you may need to take it to a professional dry cleaner.
- If possible, tackle the stain as soon as you notice it, as dried stains are much harder to remove.
