Removing stains from satin fabric

The method used to remove all kinds of stains from fabrics and satin clothes depends on the type of stain and the polluting substance. Avoid using bleach to remove satin stains. These materials can damage the fabric by changing its color. Below are the most critical stains of satin clothes, the solvent, and the method of removing them.

Ink stain

To remove pen and ink stains from satin fabric, You should apply some rubbing alcohol to your satin dress. Alcohol dissolves ink paint. Then gently rub the stain with a soft cloth or tissue until the tissue absorbs the stain. Then, if needed, wash it normally.

Oil stains

Using a clean tissue or towel, remove the oil stain from the fabric. Cover the stain with flour and let it sit for at least an hour. This period gives the flour enough time to absorb the oil. The next step is to brush the flour and spray the area with pre-treat. Allow the pre-treat to sit on the fabric for five minutes, then wash it off with warm water.

Bloodstain

First, soak the infected part in cold water and keep it for an hour. This method will help you remove the blood stain and make it easier to remove it from the fabric. In the next step, remove the cloth from cold water and put mild detergent on the damaged area. Before removing the blood stain, gently rub it in cold water to dissolve the stain.

Water stain

No particular work is needed to remove water stains on satin. You have to let the water stain dry and evaporate. Then spread the stain to dry.

Stains caused by pollution

First, remove dust stains on the satin, and wipe off any excess residue. Doing this prevents more dust and pollution from spreading on the fabric. You can also do it using a soft brush. Then pour a small amount of mild liquid soap on the affected area and gently rub it with a soft cloth until the stain and mud appear. Gently apply the softener to the surface of the stain. Repeat this process until all the stains are gone.

Grease stain

To remove fat stains on clothes, you must first pay attention to the age of the stain. If the stain is fresh, place a clean towel and press it. This action causes the fat residue on the fabric to be absorbed by the towel; note that doesn’t rub the towel on the stain; just pressing is enough. To remove fat stains from satin, you can use traditional methods and mix some flour with chestnuts. Cover the entire surface of the fat stain with it so that the flour particles penetrate the satin tissue and remove the stain by absorbing the fats. After making sure that the stain is absorbed, wipe the stain and flour from the fabric with a clean cloth. If the stain is fresh, the fat is quickly removed from the material; of course, you can use a stain remover spray to simplify the work. It should be noted that after using the spray, you must wash the fabric with lukewarm water.

Mud stain

If the mud stain is dried on the satin, first you need to shake it carefully and if it’s fresh, remove it from the fabric using a spatula or a soft brush. Then gently rub the stain with soap and add a few drops of cold water so that the soap is absorbed by the fabric, then wash it well with cold water.

Washing satin fabric

Using a washing machine

To wash satin clothes using a machine, you should set your machine program slow and set the water temperature below 30 degrees or cold water. Be sure to put the clothes in a protective bag. Avoid running the washer and dryer. Strong washing movements can damage the delicate and beautiful satin fabric.

Washing by hand

Most types of satin can be washed by hand and machine. It depends on your taste. Most people prefer to wash this fabric by hand. Cleaning satin by hand will increase its lifespan and make them last longer, shiny, and more beautiful. To wash satin clothes by hand, you should pay attention to the following:

• Mild detergent
• Enzyme-based stain removal
• A large pan
• Steam or iron

Preventing damage and squeezing of fabric

Mix your product detergent with cold or lukewarm water. Place your satin cloth in it for 5 minutes. Avoid soaking the fabric too much. You can also gently put the clothes in a container of soap and water. Then gently shake the satin so that the soap penetrates the fabric. Remember, satin is a delicate fabric; avoid shaking or squeezing it too much.

Ironing satin fabric

To iron and remove the wrinkles of this delicate fabric, you need to set the iron temperature button to the satin option. First, spread the material on the ironing board. Spread a thin cloth on it and then start ironing. High temperatures and placing the iron directly on the satin will damage the fabric.

Drying 

Spread a clean towel on a flat surface to dry the satin fabric. Then spread the wet satin on the towel, slowly roll it along with the satin, and open it after a short time. Next, place the satin in the open air, away from direct sunlight. Direct light damages the satin texture and reduces the freshness and shine of the satin fabric.

Don’t forget these things to make your satin fabrics last longer

Don’t grab clothes and satin fabric while washing it

Due to satin fibers’ soft and silky nature, you should avoid catching it. Satin fabric wrinkles very quickly; if you grab it while washing, it will become very wrinkled after drying, and it won’t be easy to iron it.

Avoid using strong detergents.

The use of silk fibers and their thin and delicate synthetic fibers has caused them to react differently when faced with detergents. This issue has caused special care to be taken during washing. Never use bleaching agents and strong detergents; it will have adverse and damaging effects on fabric texture.

Choose the proper water temperature for washing clothes

The best choice for washing all kinds of satin clothes with a washing machine is to use very mild detergents and slow spin; Because the silk and thin fibers of the satin fabric can be seriously damaged when faced with high rotations and collisions with the walls of the washing machine.

Don’t use too much foam.

Remember that thorough washing can be helpful if no foam remains in the fabric fibers. Therefore, it’s necessary to wash the floor with water during washing thoroughly; Because detergent and foam residues can cause deep stains on the skin. There’s no need for deep grabs to remove the foam. You can only gently touch the fabric’s surface and place the material in plenty of water.

Important points

• Never expose satin clothes to sunlight. Because the power of the sun’s rays can penetrate the fabric of the satin fabric and eventually cause the color of the material to fade.
• Dryers aren’t recommended because high heat can easily damage the fabric and satin fibers. At the same time, using a dryer and exposing synthetic and plastic fibers to heat will cause the fibers to shrink and ultimately make the clothes tight and short.
• In addition to not grabbing the clothes while washing, be careful not to wring the clothes because, in addition to wrinkling the clothes, it will also damage the fibers. Of course, if you need to dry clothes quickly, you can put them in a towel and press them to remove excess water.
• If the clothes need to be ironed, you can put them on the table and iron them.
• For easier ironing, you can use detergents containing softeners or softeners separately.
