Things You'll Need

Instructions

1

Remove any remaining lotion by wiping it away with a paper towel. Avoid smearing the lotion more and try to remove the lotion with your fingers and the paper towel.
2

Lay the silk piece flat onto a table or ironing board.
3

Sprinkle the affected area with talcum powder.
4

Allow the talcum powder to sit for 12 hours or overnight. The talcum will absorb any of the oils from the lotion that have been worked into the silk.
5

Soak a cotton ball with dry cleaning solution.
6

Dab at the stain with the dry cleaning solution. Do not rub the stain with the solution as this will work the stain even farther into the fabric.
7

Allow the solution to sit for two to three minutes. Remove the solution by dabbing at it with a cotton ball that has been soaked with plain water.
8

Allow the area to air dry completely.
