Mark on a new silk blouse...

I bought a lovely silk blouse from Cos earlier this week, it was in the sale and the only one left in my size. Got home (100 miles away) and noticed it has a mark on the front, possibly grease? I washed it on a cold delicates wash but the mark hasn't budged at all.

Any ideas how to get it out or what to do now? Might dry cleaning have better luck? I can't take it back because Cos is a long way from home and anyway I've now washed a dry clean only item. Sigh.

To be honest, even though it says on the pack not to use it on silk, I would try Vanish and then wash it on a 30 degree cycle with biological detergent. I have used Vanish on silk before it it was fine.

Baby shampoo takes grease stains out of silk without damaging the fabric.

Dry cleaning will get grease out but now you have washed it you may have set it . Fairy will get grease out but a bit risky on delicates .

Thank you all. Fingers crossed it'll come out.
