I got a lotion stain on a satin dress. Do you think it will come out if I send it to dry cleaning?

Question

I didn't want to try home remedies because it's purple and I'm wearing it to a dance in a few months.

Answer 1

tell them exactly what the stain is.. take in the lotion if possible.  they should tell you if it's possible to take care of it.. they may not be able to do it either.. be prepared for the worst.  do this as quickly as possible.. the longer it's there, the more permanent.

Answer 2

If you have the bottle/tube (whatever) of lotion, it might not hurt to take it along to the cleaners.  It may be helpful for them to know the actual ingredients to aid in the removal.  Good luck!

Answer 3

I think dry cleaning is your best bet. show it too them first and if they cant do it, they'll tell you. dont try home remedies you may just make it worse.

good luck :)

Answer 4

Tell the cleaner exactly what caused the stain and don't wait too long.  The longer it sets, the harder it is to remove a stain.
