Removing Fresh Vomit from Silk Satin
The best way to remove fresh vomit from silk satin is to use a sponge or damp cloth to blot the affected area. Blotting helps to lift the stain before it has a chance to set in and spread further. For best results, launder the fabric immediately after blotting with cold water and no soap. Using hot water or detergent could cause the stain to set in making it harder to remove.
Removing Set-In Vomit from Silk Satin
For set-in vomit stains, use a solution of one teaspoon mild dish-washing liquid mixed with one cup of cool water. Submerge the stained area and agitate gently for several minutes. Do not rub the affected area as this could cause damage to the fabric. After soaking, rinse with clean water and blot dry with a clean cloth.
Using Vinegar to Remove Vomit Stains from Silk Satin
Vinegar can also be used to remove vomit stains from silk satin. The steps are similar to the ones outlined above. First, mix one tablespoon white vinegar and two cups of cool water in a bowl. Submerge the affected area and let it soak for up to five minutes. Then, rinse with cool water and blot with a clean cloth. You can also use a few drops of vinegar directly onto the nausea-stained area, letting it sit for about 10 minutes before rinsing off.
Using Baking Soda to Remove Vomit from Silk Satin
Baking soda can also help to remove vomit from silk satin. Make a paste by mixing one teaspoon of baking soda with a few drops of cold water. Apply the paste to the stained area and let it stand for 30 minutes. Then rinse with cold water and blot dry with a clean cloth.
Final Tips
Always test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area of the fabric before applying it to the affected area. If you plan on using bleach, make sure it is a chlorine-free bleach specifically designed for colorfast fabrics. It is also important to remember that once the vomit is removed, the fabric may still have an odor. To get rid of smell, use a mixture of one part white vinegar and two parts water and spray onto the silk satin fabric. Let it sit for 15 minutes and then rinse.
