It is important to act quickly when removing mustard from silk chiffon to prevent the stain from setting in permanently. If the stain has been on the fabric for a while, the chances of it being completely removed is slim.
Before treating the stain, it is important to remove any excess mustard that may have spilled on the fabric. Use a spoon or butter knife to carefully scrape off the excess mustard. Be sure not to use sharp objects to avoid damaging the fabric.
Once the excess mustard has been removed, apply a stain remover or pre-wash spot treatment to the area that has been stained. Allow the product to sit for several minutes before rinsing with cold water.
Next, fill a sink or bowl with cold water and add a few drops of a gentle detergent. Gently submerge the stained area of the fabric in the cold water and allow it to soak for an hour. This will help to break up stain and make it easier to remove.
Once the fabric has been soaked, rinse it thoroughly with cold water until all traces of the stain remover and detergent have been removed. Lay the fabric flat and allow it to air dry. Do not put the fabric in the dryer as the heat could cause the stain to set permanently.
