Soy sauce stains can be a nightmare when it comes to removing them from delicate fabrics. But with just a few supplies, you can get your silk crepe de chine looking good as new. Here's how.
The most important thing to do when dealing with any stain is to absorb as much of it as possible. Use a clean cloth or paper towel to gently blot the stain until the material is no longer wet. Do not rub the fabric, as this can damage the delicate material.
The second step is to soak the stain using a mixture of water and detergent. Use cold water and a gentle detergent or dish soap, as harsh soaps can damage the fabric. Add a teaspoon of detergent to a cup of cold water, and mix it together. Dip the stained area into mixture and let it soak for 15 minutes.
After the stain has soaked for 15 minutes, rinse the garment in cold water, then wash it on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Hang garment up to air dry after washing it. Once the garment has dried, check to see if the stain is gone. If it's still visible, repeat the soaking process.
If the stain is still present after washing and drying, use a pre-treatment stain remover on affected area. Gently dab stain remover onto the stain, and let it sit for 10 minutes. Then rinse the garment in cold water and wash it again on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Hang the garment up to air dry once it has finished washing.
Removing soy sauce stains from silk crepe de chine can be a challenge, but with the right supplies and a little patience, you can get your garment looking good as new. Remember to always test the cleaning products on an inconspicuous area of the fabric before using them on the stain.
