Step 1: Test for Colorfastness

Before cleaning your Paul Smith item, you should always test for colorfastness. To do this, mix a small amount of liquid detergent with two cups warm water. Gently dip a white cloth into the mixture and apply it to a small area of the fabric. If the color on the Paul Smith item does not change after five minutes, it is safe to go ahead and clean the stain.

Step 2: Treat the Stain with an Eye Shadow Remover

Purchase an eye shadow remover specifically designed for fabrics. Follow the instructions on the packaging to pre-treat the stain, ensuring that you work from the outside in so that the stain does not spread.

Step 3: Rinse with Cold Water

Once you have applied eye shadow remover, rinse the item with cold water to ensure all traces of the product have been removed. Do not use hot water as this could cause the stain to set.

Step 4: Apply a Stain Remover

Spritz a stain remover directly onto the affected area. This will help to break down any remaining residue and lift the stain from the fabric.

Step 5: Launder as Usual

Machine wash the Paul Smith item with a mild detergent at temperature specified on the care label. Remember to let the item air dry - do not use a tumble dryer as this could cause shrinkage.

With these five easy steps, you should be able to successfully remove eye shadow stains from Paul Smith items.
