Steps for Cleaning Mud Stains from Silk Noil

- Using a clean rag, dab the pre-treatment onto the stain.
- Let pre-treatment soak for 10 minutes.
- Rinse out the pre-treatment with cold water from reverse side of the fabric.
- If there is still some residue left on the fabric, mix one tablespoon of vinegar with one cup of cold water.
- Start to lightly dab vinegar mixture onto the stain and work it into the fabric with your fingers.

- Finally, lay the garment flat and let air dry. Do not use a dryer.
