Removing Wet or Fresh Salad Dressing Stains from Mohair

  • It is important to act quickly. Don't wait for the stain to dry on the fabric.
  • Begin by gently blotting stain with a white, absorbent cloth to remove excess liquid. Be sure not to rub as this can spread the stain.
  • Once excess has been removed, sprinkle some talcum powder, cornstarch, or baking soda on stain. Allow it to sit for at least 10 minutes.
  • After 10 minutes have passed, brush off any residue that remains and repeat steps 2 and 3 if necessary.
  • If there is still a noticeable stain after attempting to remove damp spot, make a solution of mild detergent, cold water, and white vinegar in a spray bottle.
  • Spray onto the stain and allow the mixture to sit for 15-20 minutes before blotting gently with a clean cloth.
  • If the stain persists, you can apply a small amount of ammonia directly to the stain before rinsing with cold water.
  • Once you've finished removing the stain, rinse the area with cold water and lay the garment flat to air dry.

Removing Old or Set-In Salad Dressing Stains from Mohair

  • Mix a cup of warm water with a few drops of mild detergent.
  • Using a clean, white cloth, dab the stain with the detergent solution.
  • Once the stain has been saturated, use a clean cloth to blot the area until the stained area is no longer visible.
  • If stain persists, you can try using a commercial stain remover specifically designed for mohair.
  • Follow the instructions on the product label.
  • Once the stain has been removed, rinse the area with cold water and allow the garment to air dry.

Preventing Future Salad Dressing Stains on Mohair

  • Before applying salad dressing, dab a piece of white cloth on the area where the dressing may come into contact with the mohair.
  • This will help to prevent the dressing from staining the fabric if it were to come into contact.
  • If possible, try to avoid wearing mohair when eating or drinking.
  • You should also be careful when placing any food or drink items on garment while wearing it.
