Step 1: Apply a Dry-Cleaning Solvent

The first step is to apply a dry-cleaning solvent to the stain. This will help to break up and remove the oil-based substance. For best results, use a light-colored towel or cloth to blot the stain until it has been absorbed.

Step 2: Pre-Treat the Stain

Pre-treat the stain with a pre-wash stain remover. There are many brands of these products available on the market. Read the instructions carefully and choose one specifically designed for removing oil stains. Then, follow the directions on the product label.

Step 3: Wash the Fabric

Once you have pre-treated stain, it’s time to wash the fabric. It’s important to use a detergent that is specially formulated for delicate fabrics so as not to damage fabric. Place the garment in the washing machine and set it on the delicate/gentle cycle. You should also make sure to use cold water.

Step 4: Check for Stains

After washing the garment, check for any remaining oil stains. If you still see any, repeat the process. You can reapply the pre-wash stain remover and then rewash the garment. As a last resort, you can use bleach to remove stubborn oil stains.

Step 5: Air Dry Fabric

Once you are satisfied that the oil stains are gone, air dry the fabric. Avoid using a dryer as high temperatures may cause fabric to shrink. Hang the garment up outdoors or use a clothesline.

With these steps, you can confidently remove oil stains from your delicate camisole fabric. Be sure to take care when handling scissors oil and take proper measures to ensure that fabric is not damaged during the cleaning process.
