How to remove stains from a wedding dress?
If your beautiful wedding dress has some stains on it,then they are hard to address.First,we need to know what type of fabric the gown is.Most bridal fabrics(silks,satins,taffetas and chiffons) will water spot with anything that is put on the stain.In the bridal factory,we would work carefully with our fabric steamer.iron and woolite detergent to work out the stain. We would put a very small amount of Woolite on a clean white wash cloth with a bit of cold distilled water and work that into the stain. After working the detergent into the spot, we would take a fabric steamer and iron to the dress to steam and press out the water spot until the dress was dry. If the Woolite left a bit of a residue spot, we would work the distilled water into the spot and take the steamer and iron to it to work it out. This may not work for the type of dress that you have, so I might suggest to you to try these techniques on the hem of the dress where a water spot may not be as noticable. To be safe, take the dress to a professional dry cleaner, although there are no guarantees that dry cleaning will take the stains out either.
