I bought a gown today (at Lord and Taylor) with the intent of possibly using it--meaning, couldn't decide in the store, brought it home to try on again in front of family and friends and then if necessary, returning it.
As I'm taking it out of the bag to hang up in a safe place, my toddler ran over to it--land wiped an applesauce covered hand on it.
The tag says it's polyester. It's a silky material. Is there any hope for me getting the stains out now--without doing any damage? Or does this mean I can't return it now--because I'd have to dry clean it (and take the tags off)!!
Anyone know the best way to tackle this stain???
HELP!

Try using baby wipes. I once heard it works in a similar way to what they use to dry clean. Good luck!

I would say that it is wrong t return it at this point. You got it dirty, even if its cleaned, its not in the original condition, and someone else will end up buying inferior goods.

polyester should come clean no problem. but attack that spot right now, because the longer you wait the longer the spot has to set and become a stain. work on the reverse side of the fabric and put a white towel or cloth under it to absorb both the released stain material and whatever solvent you're using to release it.
A dry-clean-only label doesn't necessarily mean water will stain it. (Test a hidden portion like inside the hem to see.) it can mean that the manufacturer didn't want to be bothered using separate fabric-care labels, and dry-clean takes care of most things. It can also mean that parts of the garment like interfacings, trim, or shoulder pads are not washable or are held in place with water-soluble adhesive.
