Blot the stain with an old rag or an absorbent cloth to remove whatever you can of the stain. Use a cold water dampened cloth and gently dab the stain, making sure not to rub it into the fabric. Blot until you have removed most of the eye makeup.
Once you have blotted the stain, apply dish soap directly onto stain. You should use enough soap to make a lather, but not so much that it starts to spread. Don’t be afraid to use your hands to rub the soap into the fabric in a circular motion to help remove stain further.
After you have applied the dish soap, it is important to rinse the fabric with cold water to remove any excess soap residue. You can use a soft brush or an old rag to scrub fabric while rinsing and keeping the stain from spreading further.
Once you have rinsed the fabric, you can use baking soda or hydrogen peroxide to help remove any stubborn residue left behind. Simply sprinkle the baking soda or hydrogen peroxide onto the stain and leave for 10 minutes before rinsing with cold water again. You can also use white vinegar to help dissolve stain.
If the stain still remains, use an old toothbrush and scrub the stain with a little bit of dish soap. Be sure to use gentle pressure so as not to damage the fabric further. Rinse with cold water afterwards and repeat if necessary.
After all the steps above, the last step is to air dry your denim. Avoid putting it in the dryer as heat can set the stain permanently. Once completely dry, double check for any remaining stains and repeat steps if necessary.
Removing eye makeup stains from denim fabrics can be a tedious and difficult task, but with the right techniques, it can be done quickly and easily! Follow the steps above and your denim will be looking clean and new in no time.
