# Removing Oil Stains From a Satin Stole
Satin is a lustrous fabric originally manufactured from silk and is now created with other less expensive fabrics, including rayon, polyester and nylon. Caring for your satin stole correctly, no matter how it was manufactured, will maintain the weave’s sheen while removing unwanted stains, including oil and grease spots. This involves hand washing your satin stole or wrap, which is more labor intensive but produces effective, safe results.
