What are some home remedies to remove old oil stains from silk fabrics?
There may be an additional question as how to iron silk, as stated above put absorbent paper above and below the stain. If you think necessary put some additional barrier, such as a tea towel or maybe a towel between the absorbent paper and the silk and iron. There is no suggestion here that you should iron silk directly, the iron needs to be hot enough to ‘melt’ the oil. However it is possible to iron silk provided the iron is not hot, just warm.
