If you have recently applied an eye shadow that has created a nasty stain on your cotton twill clothing, don’t worry! You can quickly and effectively remove the stain using these simple steps.

Method 1: Spot Cleaning with Detergent

The first thing to do when attempting to remove eye shadow stains from cotton twill is to spot clean the area. Start by taking a soft-bristled brush and gently brushing the stained area. This will help to loosen any stubborn residue.

Once you have loosened the stain, take a clean cloth and dampen it with lukewarm water. Place the damp cloth onto the stained area and apply a small amount of liquid detergent to cloth. Gently rub the detergent into the stained area using small circular motions.

Allow the detergent to work on the stain for two to three minutes and then rinse the cloth in lukewarm water. Finally, rinse the stained area with lukewarm water to remove any remaining detergent residue.

Method 2: Stain Removal with Vinegar

If the spot cleaning method doesn’t work, then you can try using vinegar to remove eye shadow stain. To do this, mix equal parts white vinegar and lukewarm water in a spray bottle and shake to mix. Spray the stained area lightly but evenly with the vinegar mixture. Allow the mixture to sit on the stain for one to two minutes.

Take a soft-bristled brush and gently scrub the stained area. Rinse the area with lukewarm water and then reapply the vinegar mixture if the stain remains. Allow the vinegar to sit on the stain for another one to two minutes before rinsing with lukewarm water.

Method 3: Laundry Soap

For more stubborn stains, you may need to use laundry soap. Take a small amount of laundry soap and work it into stain using your fingertips. Allow the soap to sit on the stain for five minutes before rinsing with lukewarm water.

After rinsing the area, take a soft-bristled brush and gently scrub the stained area. Rinse the area again with lukewarm water and allow fabric to air dry.

Conclusion

With these simple tips, you should be able to quickly and easily remove eye shadow stains from cotton twill! Just remember to take your time and be gentle when scrubbing the stained area—you don’t want to damage the fabric.
