Gather Materials
- Dry cleaning solvent
- White vinegar
- Cotton swab or cloth

Instructions
- Identify the oil stain. Make sure to only use dry cleaning solvent on oil-based stains, as water-based stains should be treated with other methods.
- Place the stained silk shantung on a flat surface and apply a few drops of dry cleaning solvent. Avoid rubbing the stain too aggressively, as it could cause further damage.
- Allow dry cleaning solvent to settle into the stain, then blot the area with a damp cloth or cotton swab.
- If the stain remains, try treating it with white vinegar. Apply a few drops of the vinegar to the stain, and let it sit for 5-10 minutes. Blot it with a damp cloth, then rinse the cloth in clean water and blot away residue.
- Finally, use a stain remover specifically designed for silk fabrics. Follow the directions on the packaging to ensure safe and effective application.
