Soy Sauce on white silk blouse!!
Stefani276
Help!!! I spilled soy sauce all down the front of my favorite white silk
blouse. I dabbed at it with water and got a lot of it out, but the ring(s)
remain. Can anyone tell me how to get this stain out? I am desperate, as
this is my favorite, and most worn blouse.
Someday I am going to learn I can only eat when I have bibs....

Gee, this sounds familiar! For some reason, I only spill things on myself
when I'm wearing white, and then I *always* manage to spill something. :)

If you consider the blouse totalled, I have several suggestions:
1. Pour hot water through the stains and then wash the
blouse
2. Try "White Wizard" cleaner, which removed 10-year old dark
grease stains from white upholstery
3. Can you freehand embroider over the rings or stains -- in
white, perhaps? or some pleasant design in color?
4. As a last resort, maybe tea dyeing?
Good luck!

Never eat curry unless you're wearing yellow. Never eat chinese unless
you're wearing dark brown or black, etc.....
I don't even bother putting the napkin in my lap anymore - the food never
gets that far.

BTW, I've also given up wearing white, too. My whites never stay white
longer than that first wearing.

Stefanie,
I just recieved an e-mail by mistake from someone about this. (She had
apparently seen my name in a reply I wrote and thought I was the original
poster - and she is unable to post to the newsgroup right now). I will
forward the e-mail to you.
Here is the info. for anyone else who is interested: "For really nasty
stuff, I use Septasol. It's a red colored disinfectant soap used by
hospitals to wash surgical scrub gowns. You can purchase this from a
medical supply place. WARNING! It is VERY expensive; something like
$30/gallon. I've used it to successfully remove blood, red Kool-Aid, and
soy sauce stains. There is still hope for this blouse."
Sounds interesting, huh? I wouldn't have thought of this, but it's a good
tip for removing difficult stains.

You can't use chlorine bleach on silk, and hot water may shrink it, but
you can try warm water and non-chlorine bleaches.
RIT makes a product, sold in a pink pacakge, for removing dye and dye
stains. It is an excellent product for getting whites back to white
(cotton and silk). I wish I remembered the name- I just used some
last night! You can also use this same stuff to remove dye; the name
might be dye-rid or something like that...

Having grown up in my parents Cantonese restaurant I have worn
more than my fair share of food stains. Although my curse is to
finally go out for Italian when wearing white (I WILL change my
shirt before going out)
The soy sauce stains should wash out with a little rubbing. Use
a gentle soap and a white towel and scrub/blot toothbrush or with the
towel. With silk, it will show the water spots so you have to wet
the entire blouse to even the texture. Last resort is to use peroxide
on the stain.
Now the curry and the sweet and sour sauce stains I still have
on my clothes.

Are you perhaps referring to "Colour Remover"?

All I can think of is this movie that had Julie Andrews in it where she had
heard that soy ssauce could remove stains (obviously, it doesn't, the information
was actually a comedy of errors type of thing...). She was at a party when some
woman spilled something on herself and then JA says something to the effect of
"Oh, I can get that out..." Cut to the outside, semi-far-off-view... (shriek) "SOY
SAUCE? SOOOOYYYY SAAAAAUUCE!"
