When it comes to clothing, especially luxury items like charmeuse fabric, an eye shadow stain can seem impossible to remove. However, if you know correct process and use the right ingredients, you can have your charmeuse looking good as new in no time. Here's how:
Before you attempt to tackle the stain with any specialized products, try pre-treating it with a detergent and water solution. Start by mixing together 1 tablespoon of detergent and 2 cups of warm water in a bowl. Use a soft-bristled brush to apply this mixture directly to the affected area and gently agitate it into the fabric. Let the solution sit on the stain for 10 minutes before rinsing it out with cold water.
After pre-treating the area with the detergent solution, apply cornstarch directly onto the affected area. Use a spoon to spread the cornstarch evenly over the stain, working it into the fabric. Let the cornstarch sit on the stain for 30 minutes to allow it to absorb all of the moisture and dirt from the eye shadow.
Once the cornstarch has been allowed to sit for 30 minutes, use cold water to rinse it from the fabric. Use a soft-bristled brush to scrub the area gently while rinsing to ensure all of cornstarch has been removed. Rinse until the water runs clear, then give the fabric a final cold water rinse and set aside to air dry.
If there is any stain residue remaining after these steps, spot clean the area with a dab of liquid laundry detergent. Work the detergent into the fabric with a soft-bristled brush, then rinse with cold water. Repeat these steps until the stain has been completely removed, then set aside to air dry.
By following these four steps, you'll be able to easily remove eye shadow stains from your charmeuse fabric. Be sure to always test any cleaning solution on a small, inconspicuous area of your garment first to make sure it won't cause any damage. With some patience and the right products, you should have your charmeuse item looking good as new in no time.
