The first step to removing oil pastel stains is to blott them with a clean cloth or paper towel. Be sure to press the cloth gently on the stain, rather than rubbing it, so as not damage the fabric.
Gently apply a dry-cleaning solvent on the stain. Follow the instructions on package for best results. If the stain persists, apply a few drops of alcohol-based detergent on it. Put a cloth on top of the stain and press it down gently.
Once you have removed the stain, rinse the area with cold water. Then blot it several times until most of the moisture has been absorbed. Finally, hang up fabric in an airy space to let it dry.
With these steps, you should be able to remove oil pastel stains from silk faille easily. Remember to work gently, as any harsh scrubbing or rubbing can damage the fabric. Be patient, and your fabric will look as good as new!
