Start by pre-treating your garment with a mixture of washing detergent and water. Use a soft toothbrush or a clean cloth to gently rub the stains with the soap, applying as much pressure as you need.
Once you’ve finished pre-treating the garment, rinse it off with cold water. Make sure you rinse it thoroughly in order to remove all of the soap from the fabric.
Hang up your garment and let it air dry. Avoid using direct heat such as a dryer or an iron, as this can damage the delicate fabric.
Once your garment is dry, machine wash it with a mild detergent. Make sure your detergent is gentle enough for fabric. You can also add a fabric softener for added protection.
If the stains don’t come out in the wash, you may need to take the garment to the dry cleaner. The professionals at the dry cleaner can identify best cleaning method for your garment.
To prevent future perspiration stains, make sure to store garment properly. Keep it in a cool, dry place and avoid hanging it up in direct sunlight.
With these simple steps, you can effectively clean perspiration stains from silk habotai and keep your garments looking fresh and clean. Good luck!
