Curtains stain.

Bleating Lamb

The missus asked me to put up this ?..... We have new satin curtains with blackout lining that a child got a milk and weetabix stain on:(....
When she brought them into a good local dry cleaners they said they would not take a chance dry cleaning them as they thought the lining may come off.
They suggested bringing them to Baggot Cleaners in Dublin.
Anyone ever have a similar problem with satin curtains and how did they tackle it?

There is a brilliant product called Spotless Dry Clean Stain Remover. I got it a few months ago in my local supermarket & I wouldnt be without it now . Simple to use, just put some on a clean white cloth & rub in a circular motion (fabric only) it dries in seconds & repeat if necessary. Black out lining cannot be dry cleaned, it will just fall apart. I work with curtains a lot & i'd definately swear by this product.

So could you use that product on Satin would you think?.....wife is going to Dublin on Thurs morning and is thinking of bringing curtains up with her.

I use it on any stains... oil, grease, even got paint off . I haven't used it on Satin, but i've used it on 100% silk & it worked a treat to remove an oil stain. Its only around €4.50 -€5 for a bottle so i guess its worth a try. Test it in an unseen area first ..eg at the back of the hem but it should work fine as it dries very quickly. If you find it leaves a ring mark first time... just go over it again on slightly larger area & that will disappear. Wish i'd found it years ago !! Good luck with them.
