How do you get a water stain out of a satin dress?

[@evelynferrer1322]

Thank you for these tips. Would that work on all types of silk ?

[@nandiaconstantinou8181]

Please don’t do this. Never put alcohol on silk and never rub a silk fabric. It will make the fabric colour fade. Use white vinegar with water instead. I would try alcohol only if the stain could not be removed in any other way and the piece of clothing is useless anyway and only if the fabric is white.

[@susaneliascouture]

Good advice

[@cocochanel2706]

Agree. You will destroy your peace of cloth

[@nazadi853]

I also want to add thar, rubbing the satin like that will snag it as well. Never rub it too much and if you do, go with the grains

[@susaneliascouture]

These are demonstrations for white satin fabrics Only. Most of these gowns were also synthetic and not pure silk. Working with pure silk, you would only do the dab method with the least amount of chemicals.

First use baking soda or baby powder to absorb as much if the oil as you can then you can apply the dishwasher and water solution but keep in mind to try this in an area that doesn’t show. Water solutions can cause a ring when it dries.

How does this change if the stain on the fabric is dried or left there for an extended period of time before being attentive to.

[@susaneliascouture]

The only thing you can do is soak the item with a light wash to lift the stain. You can only do this if the fabric allows you to. Not usually dyed silk because it could cause a water stain if the entire item is not soaked

Once color is removed you can not add color back. If possible you could go to a dry cleaner an have them assess the situation. Another suggestion is to place a detail design element like lace or beading or something to hide the flaw possibly? Be creative. Sorry and good luck.

I'm not there to see this, but the first thing you can do is rub the area of the deodorant stain together with another part of the garment. If it's a fresh deodorant stain, it will usually come out. Otherwise, if you have an excellent dry cleaner, check if they have an air pressure or steam machine. They can generally blow out the stain without water or chemical

[@sridevibali9684]

A few ideas I have - 1) If there is an Indian store close to you, look for their Lifebuoy soap. It magically lightened some colour stains from a dress and I’ve been using it since 2) If that doesn’t work, see if you have a dyer close by who can discharge the fabric. That will bleach the entire fabric and then you can get it reprinted with polka dots. One thing - don’t ever soak silks to wash. Just gently wash them with a mild liquid right away but an ever better tip would be to sun them - as the heat kills all the germs and it comes smelling fresh and nice.

any tips for water stains on silk?

[@nermi3023]

I would really need an advice for this too.

[@orbitaldumpsterfire]

I'll third this. Water stains on silk and satin make me want to die. Having a second opinion would be great. I've tried a few spot treatments to varying degrees of success. The most effective I've found is to use distilled water. Always use distilled water because it doesn't have minerals in it that cause the stains in the first place. Then take a microfiber, terrycloth, or silk/satin cloth (ideally white or the same fabric so it doesn't bleed), and dip a corner into the distilled water. Get it damp, not wet, and gently to moderately rub *with* the grain to clean. Buff out the edges. To dry, place the fabric on an (again, ideally white) terrycloth or microfiber cloth. Either use a blow dryer or place another towel on top to absorb the water. Repeat this process a few times, but with each try the odds of you getting more of the water mark off decrease. I usually go about four times and then call it. It's not always perfect and sometimes in low light levels on my shiny satins I can still see a bit of a mark, but it's not something you'd see unless you're a few inches away and looking for the spot. I've heard distilled white vinegar and I imagine isopropyl alcohol also work because they evaporate quickly and don't have minerals but I haven't tried either yet.

@@susaneliascouture yes, thank you! That's exactly what I meant, I don't know how they do dry cleaning, and is there any way to do it at home?

@@AbdurrahmanHaidary87 There isa dry cleaning method you can do in the dryer. The item that gets stains out that the dry cleaners have is a high pressure steamer. this eliminates the stain from the fibers themselves.

This was very helpful. I had a query and I hope you could answer me. I have a satin face crepe skirt which belongs to my grandma that she wore on her wedding so about 60+ years ago. It was a bit dirty, so we gave it to dry cleaning and when it came back it had dye stain spots from other fabric on waist band and all over the skirt which really upset me. I want to clean out the dye stains and I'm scared to get it done from the market. Is there any way i can remove the dye stains at home? Also it has a real silver thread and sequin embroidery work on the hemline and few flowers spread across the entire skirt but the stains are not near the work. I want to wear it at my brother's wedding that's five days from today, please help.

For removing dye stains you can try to put the garment in a mix of 1 part of milk and 2 parts of water, and a bit of soap for silk. I saved an off white shirt that had a pink dye stain with this process. You might need to change the mixture once depending on how much of dye there was…

Do you know how to get deodorant out of a silk polyester dress?

[@susaneliascouture]

Deodorant is tricky! On men’s shirts too! Shout or typical cleaner and a very light brush should loosen it maybe? Try in a sample area at first.
