Removing pit stains from silk can be a bit tricky because silk is a delicate fabric and can be easily damaged. However, there are several methods you can try to remove pit stains from silk.
- Lemon juice and baking soda: Mix equal parts of lemon juice and baking soda to create a paste. Apply the paste to the pit stain and let it sit for 10-15 minutes. Rinse with cold water and repeat the process if necessary.
- White vinegar and water: Mix one part white vinegar with two parts water. Apply the mixture to the pit stain and let it sit for 30 minutes. Rinse with cold water and repeat the process if necessary.
- Hydrogen peroxide: Apply hydrogen peroxide directly to the pit stain and let it sit for 10-15 minutes. Rinse with cold water and repeat the process if necessary.
- Enzyme-based stain remover: Apply an enzyme-based stain remover to the pit stain and let it sit for the recommended amount of time. Wash the silk garment according to the care label instructions.
Note: Always test the solution on a small, inconspicuous area of the garment first to make sure it doesn’t damage the fabric. Avoid using hot water, bleach, or harsh chemicals on silk as it can cause damage to the fabric.
