1. Prepare the Area for Cleaning

Before you begin any kind of cleaning process, take some time to prepare the area. Make sure to sweep the area where the stain is located in order to remove any dirt or debris that could interfere with the cleaning process. Once the area is clean, you're ready to move onto the next step.

2. Identify the Stain

Eye shadow stains can vary depending on the type of surface they're on. For example, if the stain is on concrete, use a mild detergent and water to remove it. However, if the stain is on pavers, you may need to use a stronger cleaner such as bleach or hydrogen peroxide. Be sure to check the label and instructions of any product before using it to ensure you're using it correctly.

3. Apply the Cleaner

Once you've identified the appropriate cleaner for the surface, you can now apply it to the stain. For concrete surfaces, use a scrubbing brush or rag and work the cleaner into stain until it starts to break up. For sturdier stains, let the cleaner sit on the stain for a few minutes before scrubbing. When working with bleach or hydrogen peroxide, make sure to wear gloves to protect your hands.

4. Rinse the Area

Once you've applied the cleaner to the stain and scrubbed it away, you should then rinse the area. Use a garden hose or a bucket of warm water and rinse away any remaining cleaner or debris. Then pat the area dry with a soft cloth to ensure all the water is removed.

5. Give the Area a Final Wash

Once area is dry, you should give it one final wash with a gentle cleaner and warm water. This will help remove any residue left behind from the stain and give area a clean finish. Be sure to rinse the area again afterwards and pat it dry with a soft cloth.

Conclusion

By following the steps above, you can easily remove any eye shadow stains from pavers and concrete surfaces. Remember to always test a small area first before proceeding with the cleaning process, and always wear protective gloves when using harsh cleaners such as bleach or hydrogen peroxide.
