How Do You Get Silicone Lube Out of Sheets?

I'm not if there was a recent nationwide sale on silicone lube and (at presumably a different store) high end bedding; but for some reason I've recently been inundated with emails from folks hoping to save their favorite sheets and shirts from nasty silicone lube stains.

Since wiser stain experts have yet to weigh in, I turned to the makers of that slick, condom safe, and potentially staining liquid for help. I offer no guarantees, but here's their collective wisdom:

From Empowered Products:

A substantial spill of any silicone lubricant will be difficult to remove. If related to fabrics, a dry cleaner is usually your best bet as they have more resources in dealing with situations like this on a daily basis.

As far as help with bed linens, I would suggest treating it with a spot-remover product such as Oxy Clean. I personally use it with great results. The key is to wash it as quickly as possible and to wash it in the hottest water safe for the material.

One other tip is to never dry a spotted fabric before making certain that you have removed the spot; otherwise the direct heat of the dryer will cause the spot to settle into the fibers of fabric.

And this short tip from I-D Lubricants:

A strange as this sounds, I find adding a little Cascade Dish soap to the laundry removes the silicone stain from fabric.
