Rust like marks ?
If you have ever experienced brown ‘rust like’ marks on silk scarves, it is because perfume has accidentally been sprayed on to the silk. The acidity in the perfume has burned the delicate silk fibers. This can be avoided by applying your perfume first, and letting dry for a moment, before putting the scarf on.
