The first step to successfully eliminate a salad dressing stain from your silk dupioni is to act fast. The longer you let the stain sit without taking action, the more difficult it will be to get out. As soon as you notice the stain, grab a clean and dry cloth or paper towel and gently dab it out.

Once you have dabbed away as much of excess dressing as possible, the next step is to prepare your cleaning solution. You can make your own by mixing together one part white vinegar and two parts warm water. Make sure the water is not too hot, as this may damage the fabric.

Using a soft bristled toothbrush, apply the cleaning solution to the stained area, scrubbing lightly in a circular motion. You can also use a soft sponge instead. Then, take a damp cloth and use it to rinse away cleaning solution.

Now, it is time to launder your fabric according to washing instructions provided. Before you start the wash cycle, pre-treat the stained area with a laundry detergent or stain remover. After the washing cycle is complete, remember to air dry your fabric in order to avoid any shrinking or warping.

If stain has yet to be removed after following steps above, try using a oxygen-based bleach as a last resort. Note that oxygen-based bleaches should only be used on white silk dupioni and some other light-colored fabrics, as they may discolor darker colored fabrics.

By following these simple steps, you can get rid of those pesky salad dressing stains from your silk dupioni. If done correctly, you should see your fabric looking as good as new!
