Used it on my silk blouse. It removed the stain without any damage to the fabric.

I can't answer definitively, only from experience. In my case, I have a 100% silk Chinese rug (Code S (i.e., organic based fiber) according to the Internet) and it worked very well (I took the rug to a professional afterwards and they got the remaining 10% of the red wine stain out). Supposedly, Code S is to be cleaned with only solvent based cleaners, not water based. Wine Away is "made from fruit and vegetable extracts" so I don't have a clue if that is considered solvent based. Although I think you would be safe using it, I would call Wine Away manufacturer at 509-527-0607 (Evergreen Labs in Walla Walla, Washington). The other option would be to buy a bottle and test it in an inconspicuous area. I can't answer definitively, only from experience.

The Wine saver won't work with sparkling wines...This does..keeps it close to new for a while...Someone else makes one that has a clam style that works ok too...This is just for sparkling wines....and won't work with regular non-sparkling wines ..Hope that helps...I have about three different styles of them I've gotten over the years....as I carry on vacations so sometimes I lost them...great if you just want a couple glasses and keep it for another night...will not keep for a long time...say a month...slowly loses it's fizz.doesn't take air out...it is a spring loaded cap that keeps a tight seal so the fizz stays in.

Jacqueline, I am not sure about silk. I know it doesn't rub off while working on a project, however, sometimes you need to use a lightly damp cloth to remove the marks. On silk ... well you know, water may leave a water mark on silks or satins. I love these pencils and haven't really tried them on silk. If you purchse them, take a sample piece of your fabric and test it out first. At Joann Fabrics, I also bought chalk pencils, see if you can find them in your area, or here on Amazon. Like these pencils, you can sharpen them to a fine point. Chalk just brushes off. Good Luck.

Yes!!!! That's what I meant in my review about it "bubbling"... :( Especially bad for silk dresses, takes forever to dry afterwards!

Dear Mindy, I use Cornucopia Kits almost exclusively. In fact I just finished bottling my second batch of the White Strawberry Merlot (I also make the Black Cherry, Tropical Riesling and Blueberry Shiraz. Have a box of Peach Chardonnay I'm about to start). I have NEVER seen any solids of any kind in the juices. I would contact the company immediately and find out what's going on. Personally I would have the kit replaced. Hope this helped, and Happy Winemaking!

I had other bad experiences with this iron. Steam left big water spots on silk ruining a lovely scarf After using it once I gave it away. Didn't use it long enough to have trouble with the filaments. Sorry. Marci

I haven't used it on wedding gowns but I have used it on silk materials, and i didn't see any damage.

I've never tried it on synthetics; good question. However, I really like 'Vinylex' by Lexol for viniyl and plastic [for example, works the best for car interiors, etc.].

My wife has used this on silk blouses and it worked well but we have not tried on silk suit.

Teak loves salt water. Flush the red wine stains with salt water and they'll come right out. Salt water takes out other stains, too; and keeps the teak looking nice. We always suggest our customers to seal teak wood with semco sealant, so it prevents stains, it's not water proof but helps. Thanks

I've used it on my white linen table cloth and it performed above and beyond what I had expected. I've used it on white slacks with me in them and made it through the night without everyone thinking "wine slob". It's cleaned up after my wine group and impressed them all enough for them to keep it on hand at their houses.

Have only used on champagne bottles and not very often since it is usually finished. The regular wine bottle sealer works great. Never spill a drop.

No, You should use the white wine aerator. The red wine and white wine have different amounts of oxygen needed to have them taste the best they can. Actually, white wine needs more aeration than red.

It doesn't work on beer or wine bottles - but works GREAT on champagne! The mouth of their bottle has a slightly different shape than beer and wine bottles.

I have used it to remove ink from silk and ink from the carpet. Also to remove a set in chocolate stain from the carpet, and RED Georgia clay from our carpet, too. It is the only thing that worked. I tried everything. It is stronger than bleach in cleaning white tennis shoes and the white on tires. And yet, it is not harmful to your skin. Will clean water spots on the shower door when nothing else worked. It is worth every penny and more. I would be willing to pay twice as much. It is that good. Follow the instructions. When I used it in my steam cleaner, it works better in really hot water. Amazing stuff. I have used it to remove ink from silk and ink from the carpet.
