That's exactly what happens Rory, but the 'staining' (discolouration) is at least all the same colour. Not recommended, but a last resort sort of thing.
Before you ditch your lining it might be worth a trick I’ve used on oil stains and water stains on silk ties - lighter fluid. I have no idea whether this will work on Cupro (which is a viscose) so I’d test it on a spare scrap.
If safe after testing, essentially squirt the lighter fluid liberally on the centre of the stain and dab with a paper towel. You may need to repeat several times as the edge of the strain bleeds further out but it dries very quickly and I’ve had excellent results on silk. Totally invisible if done correctly.
Let us know if you decide to try it and let us know how it goes.
Hi Paul,So sorry to hear.I don’t know of one. Not sure if I mentioned in the series that water is the enemy of lining.I once tried a trick I got from a cloth merchant and that was to dip all the lining in water before making the garment up. Took forever to press it back again. Think I just binned it.
I wouldn’t spray it as the droplets would surely stain the lining
