Some massage oil was spilled on my white silk skirt 6 months ago and i just noticed it… the stain looks light yellow. I took the skirt to the dry cleaners, but no success!
Any suggestions how I can get the stain out?

    Make a paste of Dawn and baking soda. Apply it to the stain and let it sit for a couple of hours. Then handwash the item in Woolite or another mild detergent. Roll in a towel to dry.

    Get some hand cleaner cream stuff like GoJo or Fast Orange and work that into the dry cloth first with your fingers. Then wash like regular. Should be gone.

    I have gotten olive oil out of a silk blouse before by sprinkling corn starch on it and leaving it over night. The corn starch absolved all the oil. Worked like a dream but am not sure with an old stain but might not hurt to try it.

    Silk Stain Removal
    To spot treat oil stains from silk items, sprinkle cornstarch or baby powder containing cornstarch on item, let sit a few minutes then shake off excess and brush with a soft brush or cloth.
