When it comes to cleaning soy sauce stains from silk chiffon, there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Some people find it easiest to take the garment to a dry cleaner, while others prefer to try removing stain at home. If you decide to tackle the stain on your own, here are some tips.
Things you'll need
- Dish soap
- Mild detergent
- Oxygenated bleach
- Soft brush
- White cloth
- Hairdryer (optional)
Instructions
- Blot the spilled soy sauce with a clean white cloth or paper towels to absorb as much as possible. Avoid scrubbing or rubbing the stain or you may spread it.
- Mix a few drops of dish soap in a cup of cold water. Dip a soft brush into the solution and gently brush the stain before rinsing it out with cold water.
- If the stain still remains, mix a few drops of mild detergent in a cup of cold water. Dip a soft brush into the solution and lightly brush the stain before rinsing with cold water.
- Mix a few drops of oxygenated bleach in a cup of cold water and dip a soft brush into the solution. Gently brush the stain then rinse with cold water.
- If stain persists, you can use a hairdryer to blow heat on the stain to help loosen it. (Be careful not to damage the fabric.)
- Repeat the above steps until stain is gone. Once stain is gone, launder the garment according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
