How Do You Remove Wine Stains From Silk?
Silk is a delicate material that is used for a variety of purposes. Clothing, table dressings and bedding are just a few items that can be made of silk. A wine stain on silk can be terrifying, especially given the delicacy of the fabric. Removing wine stains from silk should be done very careful and only using appropriate products and techniques. Wine stains on silk can be removed successfully without compromising the fabric. Blot as much of the wine from the silk as possible. Use a dry rag to soak up the wine. Dab the rag onto the wine stain, switching to clean parts of the rag as one part becomes soiled. Follow up by blotting with a rag dampened in cool water. Continue blotting until no more wine transfers to the rag. Pour 1 qt. of water into a pot. Place the pot on the stove and bring the water to a boil. Adjust the amount of water needed depending on the size of the wine stain. Remove the pot from the heat as soon as it comes to a boil. Saturate the wine stained area of the fabric
