cant seem to"Shout it Out" any suggestions? Please!

since it is already ruined you can try this but depening on the textile blend it may over bleach the skirt. Use Hyrodgen peroxide and cold water to get out the stain. If the stain is organic material use HP and cold water it will eat the stain out of the clothes.. before the stain is set. If it is old you can try using bleach and cold water to get the stain out but you risk over bleaching your stain.

so i washed some red white and black silk items all separately and some of them bled so i washed them till the water was clear and i put all of them in the dryer to air fluff them dry thinking they would not bleed anymore. I was wrong all the red shirts have black on them and the white shirt has red and black! does anybody know how i can salvage these shirts?

Once any clothing is dried in the dryer, it is almost impossible to get the stains out.

The only suggestion I have is to, soak it Oxy Clean with hot water and let it sit for several hours. Do this in the sink.

I don’t think it will come out.

Silk Shirts need to be hand washed in cold water, and separate.

If you’re not going to dry clean it then you need to either invest in Dryell ($13-15) or hand wash it in a mild detergent (Woolite) and lay flat to dry.

Any Ideas?

Aside from a drycleaner, I know this will sound stupid, but try soaking it in some milk. My mum used to do it to our clothes when they had blood and grass stains from footy and they came out. She swore by it?

Course, being my mum, she may have added nappy san…

Is it possible to dye a white silk top black?

I have a halter neck white silk top. I want to dye it black for halloween, is it possible to do this? It does not have to be perfect because I want it to be edgy. The top has ruffles, would this make it more difficult? Thank you for your help

Yes, it is possible to dye a white silk top black. Silk dyes easily as long as you use an acid dye bath. This means adding an acid to the dye so the fibers “open up” to react and absorb the dye. Acetic acid is usually recommended and it’s easily available at the supermarket where it is sold under its more common name of “vinegar”

To dye silk: start with a large bucket or glass pot or enameled vessel. A cheap plastic bucket is best because the black will stain everything. Don’t use the washing machine for dyeing, no matter what the dye package says. Use any supermarket dye and follow the package directions and add a quarter cup of vinegar to the dye-water.

Be sure there’s enough dye solution for the item to freely swim about in the dye. It shouldn’t be bunched up. Pre-wet the item before placing it in the dye. Wetting allows the dye to permeate the item. Leave it in the dye twice as long as the package states. When the time is up remove it and rinse it well until there is no more excess dye coming out.

Squeeze the excess water out of the item and let it dry. If it’s wrinkled then press the item on the inside using a warm iron, place a cloth between the iron’s surface and the silk to prevent scorching. When finished you should have a reasonably black top. Here’s the RIT dye site, they have lots of tips and tricks for dyeing. Be sure to add vinegar to the dyewater, silk needs the extra boost. http://www.ritdye.com/Home.1.lasso

I’ve actually tried this on a new shirt I had spilled red wine down the front. Just mix Dawn dish washing soap in Peroxide soak the stain. It will disappear. I got the info on a site a while back.
