How to Remove Stains From Silk Clothes?

June 21, 2020 By Miranda Jackson Leave a Comment

Silk represents a wonderful and very soft textile material. It is silky and delicate and requires special care. If you have a stain on your silk dress or your tie, you will need to be careful about how you go about cleaning it. To help you, here are some tips for getting a stain off the silk.

Talc against oil stains

If you have stained your silk with a fatty substance or some oil, pour a little talc on the stain. Then put several sheets of absorbent paper on the talc and pass over a slightly hot iron. For the remaining stains, just use a little turpentine.

70-degree alcohol

Use a mixture of water and alcohol at 70 degrees to remove stains left on the silk.

To remove a stain of red wine

If you accidentally spilled red wine on your silk, simply dab the excess with a damp paper towel. Then rub lightly with a wet cloth.

To remove a stain of white wine

Soak the extra white wine with a tissue quickly. Then clean the rest of the wine stain on the silk with a damp cloth. 

A stain of carbonated drink

To remove a soft drink stain from the silk, use a little glycerin. Then rinse.

A coffee stain 

Alcohol at 90 degrees will be perfect for removing a coffee stain from silk. Remember to rinse well afterward.

A tea stain on a silk dress

If it is rather a tea stain, also use alcohol at 90 degrees, but this time mixing it with vinegar and water. Then rinse. Be careful. Whether it is a stain on a silk dress or a tie, you must be careful not to damage the silk and, therefore, your dress, scarf, or tie. 

A tomato stain

If you have just dropped tomatoes on your silk, simply dab the stain with a little milk.

Liquid soap

To clean your silk, soak it in a bowl of warm water with a small drop of liquid dish soap.
