What You'll Need
To get started, gather these materials:
- Liquid laundry detergent
- Stain remover
- White vinegar
- Old toothbrush
- Clean cloth
Step One: Pre-Treat the Area
Using the old toothbrush, lightly dab a small amount of laundry detergent directly onto stain. Work it in gently with the brush and let it sit for a few minutes.
Step Two: Apply Stain Remover
Next, put a small amount of stain remover or white vinegar onto the stained area, working it in with the old toothbrush. Let this sit for a few minutes.
Step Three: Rinse the Garment
After pre-treating and applying the stain remover, rinse the garment in cold water. Do not rub the area since this could cause the stain to spread.
Step Four: Re-Treat, Rinse, Repeat
If any of the stain remains, repeat steps one through three until it is completely gone. For particularly stubborn stains, you may need to re-treat several times.
Step Five: Hang to Dry
Once the stain is gone, hang the garment to dry, and do not put it in the dryer. The heat from the dryer can cause any remaining stains to set and be impossible to remove.
Conclusion
Removing oil pastel stains from silk chiffon doesn't have to be a challenge. By following these easy steps, you can remove even the most stubborn stains and restore your garment to its original beauty.
