So the very first thing you need to do in order to clean it by yourself is to take a big bowl and add cold water there. Then sink the taffeta into water and out of water with careful moves, avoiding rough actions. Then rinse the dress so much until the soup is gone. Then take a white towel and roll the dress so as to remove the wetness, after that hang the dress in order to make it dry. You should dry it in a place which lacks sunlight and which is ventilated, because the sunlight may spoil the quality and lose the freshness of the dress.
If there is a dirty place in one area of the dress, you anyway have to clean the whole dress, because after cleaning the color shade of the dress may be changed, and if you clean only a certain part of your dress it may be stand out.
