Things to Keep in Mind

Test a small area on your mesh before cleaning the entire surface
Read manufacturer’s instructions for your mesh fabric
Check the colors of your mesh fabric before bleaching
Be sure to use a gentler approach when dealing with delicate fabrics

The Cleaning Process

Gently scrape away any excess eye shadow debris with a blunt knife or spoon.
Create a cleaning solution by mixing one part mild detergent like Woolite with four parts warm water.
Using a soft cloth or sponge, dampen affected area with cleaning solution.
Let the solution sit for 10-15 minutes before gently scrubbing the area and rinsing with clean water.
If the stain is still present, repeat the process with a diluted bleach solution.
Once the area is clean, hang it up to dry out of direct sunlight.

Additional Tips

If the fabric is delicate, use a very soft brush or toothbrush to gently scrub the stain instead of a sponge.
Inspect the fabric for any color loss or damage before bleaching.
Avoid using harsh chemicals like ammonia or solvents.
Once the fabric is dry, spray it with a fabric protectant to help prevent against future stains.

Conclusion

Removing eye shadow stains from mesh fabric can be a tricky process, but with these tips and steps, you can have your mesh back to its original state in no time.
