Step 1: Blot the Stain
Use a white cloth to blot up any excess urine from the fabric. Keep blotting until no more liquid is absorbed. Do not rub or scrub at the stain as this can cause damage.
Step 2: Prepare a cleaning solution
Mix one teaspoon of mild liquid detergent with one cup of cold water. Don’t use a detergent that contains bleach or optical brighteners as it may cause discoloration.
Step 3: Apply the cleaning solution to the stain
Dampen a clean white cloth with the cleaning solution and apply it to the urine stain. Be sure to move the cloth in one direction only, never rubbing it back and forth.
Step 4: Rinse the stain
Rinse the area with cold water. Blot the stain again with a clean white cloth to remove any lingering traces of urine.
Step 5: Allow the fabric to air dry
Once you’ve completely removed urine stain, allow silk dupioni to air dry.
Additional Tips
- If the stain does not come out, you can try washing fabric on a delicate cycle in cold water. Do not add fabric softener or bleach.
- To protect your silk fabrics from stains, use a protective spray or fabric protector.
