What gets grease out of silk?

To remove grease from silk, gently blot the stain with a clean, dry cloth to absorb excess oil. Apply a small amount of cornstarch or talcum powder to the stain and let it sit for several hours to absorb the grease. Carefully brush off the powder and then treat the area with a silk-safe detergent diluted in water, using a soft cloth to dab the stain. Rinse with cool water and air dry, avoiding direct sunlight.
