Removing a Salad Dressing (Grease) Stain from Silk

RE: Removing a Salad Dressing (Grease) Stain from Silk Post By Linda (Guest Post) (10/29/2007) I got a salad dressing stain on a dark blue silk blouse I had JUST gotten back from the cleaners. All I had was an anti-fungal powder (!) so I put that on thickly, pressed it in with my finger, put a paper towel over and ironed over a couple of times. I brushed it off and Voila!! stain GONE. Amazing!

RE: Removing a Salad Dressing (Grease) Stain from Silk Post by crolly (1) | (08/17/2005) Contact Well, I took my silk skirt to the cleaners..they apologised for not managing to get rid of the marks..even with extra spot cleaning. Suggested I should hand wash it as I had nothing to lose. However before I added water I read the tips about talc, and infact I used cornflour! I just rubbed it carefully into the marked area, placed some white kitchen roll on top, heated up with a hot iron, removed paper towel and brushed off........ FANTASTIC!!!! no marks to be seen. Am going back to the cleaners tomorrow to pass on the tip! ...or should I? !!!! ;-) RE: Removing a Salad Dressing (Grease) Stain from Silk Post By jkb82 (Guest Post) (07/21/2005) try covering the stain with talc powder and allowing it to sit for a day or two. the stain should come out.

Tell them what the stain is, maybe they can help.
