When you're wearing eye shadow, it's never fun when a bit of it ends up on clothing. It can be especially disheartening if that clothing happens to be one of your favorite pairs of cargo pants. Luckily, removing eye shadow stains from cargo pants isn't an insurmountable task.

What You'll Need

  • Laundry Detergent
  • OxiClean or Other Oxygen-Based Stain Remover
  • Soft-Bristle Brush
  • White Cotton Cloth
  • Cold Water

Getting Started

  1. Turn pants inside out and treat the area with laundry detergent. Gently rub the area with a soft-bristle brush and then let soak for 30 minutes in cold water.
  2. After 30 minutes, turn the pants back to their normal position and place a white cotton cloth behind the stained area.
  3. Spray OxiClean stain remover directly onto the stained area. Allow it to sit for 5 minutes.
  4. Take the soft-bristle brush and gently brush the eye shadow stain, rubbing back and forth until stain has been removed.
  5. Rinse the inside of pant leg with cold water to remove any remaining product. Lay them flat to dry.
