Varnish stains on lingerie can be a pain to remove, but they're not impossible to get rid of. The best cleaning method will depend on the type of lingerie you’re dealing with: some fabrics require more delicate handling than others.
Cleaning Varnish Stains from Silk & Satin Lingerie
Using pre-treated laundry detergents and fabric softeners specifically formulated for silk and satin garments is the best way to remove varnish stains from your delicate lingerie. Start by rubbing some liquid detergent directly onto the stain. Scrub gently with a soft brush or cloth and then rinse out with cool water. Let the garment air-dry.
Cleaning Varnish Stains from Cotton & Synthetic Lingerie
Cotton and synthetic lingerie are more durable fabrics that can take harsher treatments without being damaged. Begin by soaking stain in warm water with a few drops of dishwashing soap. You can also use a mild laundry detergent. Allow the fabric to saturate in the solution for 30 minutes before scrubbing gently with a soft-bristled toothbrush or a soft cloth. Rinse with warm water until the stain is gone, then let the garment air-dry.
