please cheet me up - water stain on satin dress

[Pineneedles]

Has anyone ever had a water stain successfully removed from a satin dress at the dry cleaners? I'm so fed up, I need some hope please!

hopefully someone could even cheer me up!

No no don't dry clean it, that will possibly do more harm than good.

You need to wash it, cold, with water.

Someone on here was going to take a frock back that had a water stain and she washed it despite instructions on label, and it came up really fine.

That was silk btw but I imagine satin pretty similar.

In fact many clothes that say dry clean are perfectly washable in cool water. It's just a silly back-covering exercise by the shops I think, as hot water might ruin them.

Thanks. The label even says words to the effect of "this fabric stains really really easily so don't even think about bringing it back". Shame I didn't read if first, really.

No don't worry, that's why the fuss with the silk one - there was no warning on the label.

Anyway - she actually did it in the machine, on a cold wash I think, and it came out perfect.

Do not fret

Yeap - agree with flight. I'd use woolite and a handwash cycle in the machine.

I am in the know, can you link me the dress and I'll give you advice. We wash lots of silk , satin dresses but there is a knack.
