When it comes to cleaning suntan lotion stains from Silk Dupioni, you need to approach them with utmost caution. You should always use the gentlest cleaning method that gets the job done in order to ensure preservation of the fabric’s delicate fibers. Here’s how you can do it:

Step 1: Dab or scrape excess lotion off the fabric

Start by removing any excess lotion on the fabric with a kitchen sponge or paper towels. Be sure to not rub or scrub the stain as this can weaken fabric's fibers and spread stain further.

Step 2: Treat the stain with laundry soap and water

Create a mixture of equal parts of lukewarm water and detergent-free laundry soap. Use a clean white cloth to apply the mixture on to the stain. Gently dab stained area and let the mixture settle into the fabric for around 5 minutes.

Step 3: Rinse and blot dry

Rinse the stained area thoroughly with cold water and use a towel to absorb the excess water from the fabric. Do not wring or twist fabric as it may cause further damage.

Step 4: Hang to air-dry

Once the fabric is free of excess water, hang it somewhere away from direct sunlight in order to allow it to air-dry naturally.
