The best way to clean scissor oil stains from scarves is to start by sponging the stain with a small amount of mild liquid detergent and cold water. Make sure you use a dry cloth and pat the stained area gently - you don't want to spread the oil further! Then rinse the scarf with cold water and lay it flat on a towel to dry.
If the stain persists, you can try using undiluted rubbing alcohol on a cotton rag and blotting the stained area with it. This should help lighten or remove stain. When you’re done, dab the area with cold water and a clean cloth to remove any residue. Finally, lay the scarf flat to dry.
If the stain still isn't completely gone after all of this, you may need to take it to the dry cleaner's. The professional cleaning products they use will often have better luck getting rid of stubborn stains like these.
Now you know how to get stubborn scissor oil stains out of scarves! With this simple method, you can keep your favorite accessory in top condition for years to come.
