Steps for Removing Paint Stains from Charmeuse
- Start by filling a basin or sink with lukewarm water and a small amount of detergent. Swish the water around until the detergent is mixed in.
- Soak the stain in soapy water. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes.
- Rinse the garment in cold water. Check if the stain has been lifted. If not, repeat Steps 2 and 3.
- If the stain is still visible, grab a soft bristle brush and blotted the area with a damp cloth. Use the brush to gently scrub area.
- Rinse again with cold water and hang to dry.
Tips to Keep in Mind
- When you are done cleaning, avoid ironing the area directly as the heat may set the stain.
- If the stain is still there after cleaning, avoid washing and drying the garment. Instead, take it to a dry cleaner for professional treatment.
- Always read the care label before attempting any kind of stain removal process.
- Be sure to test any cleaning agents in an inconspicuous spot to ensure that it won’t discolor or damage the fabric.
