How can I remove grease stains from a silk skirt?

Question

I accidentally split oil, could be olive oil, onto my skirt. Sprayed it with Vanish and washed it on a delicate wash but the stains have not gone. It is a silk skirt and says dry clean. Any ideas how to remove oil? Thanks

Answer 1

I have had some luck using Dawn. But, not after it has already been through the rinse cycle...and not on silk.

If the skirt is already not wearable, I would trying using straight Dawn on it and scrub lightly with a toothbrush adding only enough water to make it suds up.

Good luck. I know that stinks!

Answer 2

take to cleaners..... they might be able to save it.... why did you wash it if it says DRY CLEAN??....

Answer 3

put some brown paper over mark and use iron as hot as you dare  iron paper it should bring grease out  I have done this in past but as you have already  used vanish and washed it I don't know if it will work as well  but if no one comes up with anything else it is worth a try good luck
