Subject: Spot Cleaning Pageant Dresses Author: Mommy2two [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 05:37:59 11/13/10 Sat Author Host/IP: NoHost/184.13.137.218 Any idea on how to spot clean a glitz pageant dress...somehow my daughter (who doesn't eat or drink in her dress) got something on it right at the neckline. (I am thinking my husband snuck her some soda) It isn't large or noticeable from stage but we are having photos done and I fear they will be viewable in the photos. TIA [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> Subject: Spot Cleaning Author: Lisa J [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 10:48:09 11/16/10 Tue Author Host/IP: pool-71-243-210-232.lsanca.fios.verizon.net/71.243.210.232 Yes..it depends on the fabric. And if was custom dyed or factory dyed. If it was custom dyed also depends if the fabric was heat set or not. Woolite has worked well for me..with over dipping/cleaning of a bodice and skirt. However I have had problems with spot cleaning a dress. Just took a bit of water to a bodice and the dye came right out...ended up with a nice little white spot on a blue dress. Was lucky enough where the problem was. I was able to add lace and stones, to cover. A friend had the same problem. Didn't notice the dye removed until it was dry. She had little white chicken pox LOL all over the bodice (she bought it from someone, and wanted to spot clean before putting on her daughter). So try an area on the inside if the lining is made of the same fabric...or try in an inconspicous place. Good luck. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
