Step 1: Blot the Stain
With a clean cloth or paper towel, blot the stained area, taking care not to rub it too hard as this may set the stain. If the material is still wet, dab the area until all excess moisture has been removed.
Step 2: Pre-treat the Stain with Vinegar
To pre-treat the affected area and loosen the stain, dilute white vinegar with cold water and apply it to the stain using a cotton swab. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes before blotting it off with a dry cloth.
Step 3: Wash in Cold Water
When washing silk crepe de chine, it is important to use cold water only, as hot water can cause shrinkage and damage the fabric. Use a mild detergent and a delicate cycle and launder the garment with other items of the same color. Do not add fabric softener as this will make the fabric more prone to staining.
Step 4: Air Dry
Once washing cycle has finished, allow the garment to air dry. This will help ensure that remaining stain does not become set in the fabric. Once the garment is completely dry, inspect the affected area to see if the stain has been successfully removed.
