Step 1: Scoop Out Excess Mud
Take a spoon or dull knife and gently scoop out as much of the mud as possible. This step is important since it eliminates a large portion of the stain to start.
Step 2: Pretreat with Laundry Detergent
Mix a small amount of laundry detergent with cold water and create a sudsy solution. Apply this sudsy solution to mud stained area and let it sit for 10 minutes before rinsing with cold water.
Step 3: Pre-soak in a Cold Water Solution
Fill a bathtub, bucket, or sink with enough cold water to soak the silk taffeta fabric. Add a cup of white vinegar or extra laundry detergent to solution. Place the fabric in the water and let it soak for 30 minutes.
Step 4: Launder in the Washing Machine
Wash the fabric in the washing machine using cold water, a mild detergent, and the gentle cycle. Check fabric after the cycle is finished for any remaining mud or discoloration.
Step 5: Air Dry
Air dry the fabric by laying it flat on a towel. Do not place fabric in the dryer, as this could shrink and damage the fabric.
