Eye shadow is one of the most commonly used beauty products and when applied properly it can really enhance your look. Unfortunately, eye shadow has a tendency to get onto clothing and leave behind stubborn stains. Nylon fabrics like nylon stockings or lingerie can especially be difficult to clean.
What You Will Need
- A washing machine
- Liquid detergent
- Borax powder
- White vinegar
- Laundry stain remover (optional)
Step-By-Step Instructions
- As soon as possible, remove the stained garment and rinse any excess eye shadow off under cold running water.
- If the stain is still visible, mix one tablespoon of liquid detergent, one tablespoon of Borax powder, and one tablespoon of white vinegar in a bowl of warm water. Soak the stained garment for about an hour before washing.
- Put the garment in the washing machine with a standard load of laundry and wash according to the garment’s care instructions.
- If stain remains after washing, apply a laundry stain remover to the affected area and allow it to sit for five minutes before washing again.
- Check the garment before drying and if the stain has not been completely removed, repeat steps 3 and 4.
Tips & Tricks
- Be sure to use a laundry detergent that is specifically formulated for delicate fabrics when washing nylon.
- Never use hot water to wash nylon fabrics, as this could cause the fabric to shrink or damage fibers.
- Do not place garment in dryer until the stain has been completely removed.
