Step 1: Identify the Stain

Before you start trying to remove the marker stain from your silk faille, first use a damp cloth to identify what type of marker stain you’re dealing with. Different types of markers require different removal methods.

Step 2: Gather Materials

Once you’ve identified the stain, gather the materials you need to begin the cleaning process. Depending on the type of marker, you may need items like a white cloth, white vinegar, rubbing alcohol, laundry detergent, and even a stain remover.

Step 3: Blot the Stain

Using a white cloth, start blotting stained area. Make sure not to rub, as this can spread around the stain. If the stain is still visible after you’ve blotted, move on to the next step.

Step 4: Apply a Cleaning Agent

Depending on the type of marker you’re dealing with, select the cleaning agent that will work best for the removal process. For instance, some markers respond better to white vinegar, while others may require rubbing alcohol. You can also soak the fabric in laundry detergent for about an hour for especially stubborn stains. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first.

Step 5: Repeat

If stain is still present after the first application of your chosen cleaning agent, don’t give up! You may need to repeat process a few more times before the stain is completely gone.

Step 6: Treat with a Stain Remover

For the final step, treat the area with a stain remover such as OxiClean. Simply follow the instructions on the label and you’re done!

Conclusion

Marker stains on silk faille can be unsightly and difficult to remove. However, by following the steps outlined here, you can successfully remove the stain and restore your silk faille clothing or linens.
