Makeup is an integral part of any womanhood! Whether it is a formal or informal gathering you would love to look good and a few brush strokes with ingredients from the makeup kit can gift you that. But a moment of concentration break can create a hard-to-remove makeup stain on your favorite garment. Removing makeup stain is a groan-worthy effort. If you want some simple solutions to remove those lipstick, mascara or foundation stains from your clothes, then you are at the right place. Let us start.
#1: Use some Baking Soda
Once you have detected and analyzed the area of makeup stain, it is time to get started. Sprinkle some baking soda over the affected area and let it settle down into the fabric of your clothes. After some time, scrap the surface of the stain with an old toothbrush. Do not rub the surface too hard or too softly. You will find that the stain has turned into a ball. This means that the first step has worked.
#2: Second round with Baking Soda
Whatever may be the extent of the stain, a second treatment with baking soda would aptly clean your clothes. So, apply some more baking soda on the affected area and just like the first step scrub the surface with an old toothbrush. Again a ball would be formed, and this time you can remove the stain once and for all.
#3: Scrub the surface with a brush
Just to be sure, you need to scrub the stained area with a little detergent and a soft washing brush. The detergent powder you use in this step, and the next one should be highly competent in stain removal. Apply only a couple of cups of water to treat the stained area. After the washing, you will find the stain has vanished.
#4: Time to use the washing machine
If you remember, we have not washed off the residue from baking soda yet. So, put the garment inside a washing machine and use a strong detergent powder to wash off. After the complete washing cycle, you would find the garment flawlessly clean and ready to wear.
#5: Air dry the garment
Putting your delicate clothes to dry in the open is not a great option, especially after they have undergone such a prolonged cleaning process. So, air dries the clothes to protect their color and fabric.
With these simple steps, you have removed a cause for constant headaches. So, the next time you sit in front of the mirror with your makeup kit, let the thought of stain removal not hamper your session.
