How to Remove a Cake Stain from a Bathrobe.
How to Remove a Cake Stain from a Bathrobe.
The majority of a cake stain is oil from the cake and sugar from the frosting. The solids from the cake will easily wipe off. Applying a good oil remover and water will easily release the stain.
Dawn Dishwashing Liquid is a great oil remove because it is designed to remove oils from your dishes. I like this because it works well and everyone has some readily available in the kitchen.
- Create a pre spotter using 1 part Dawn dishwashing liquid and 10 parts water.
- Apply the solution directly to the cake stain.
- Tamp with a brush to help solution penetrate stain.
- Let solution rest on stain for 5-10 minute to penetrate.
- Rinse area with fresh water.
Remember to always evaluated color and material. Test for color bleeding in a hidden area of the garment before proceeding with stain removal. Using a white towel apply a small amount of the solution onto the towel and dab a hidden area of the garment. If color transfers to the towel re-evaluate the use of the product and technique. Rubbing and scrubbing can cause excess color lost.
Finish by cleaning the entire item as recommended by the care label.
Seek professional help if necessary. If you have a good relationship with your green dry cleaners they will be more than happy to help you with stain removal questions.
