Step 1: Scrape the Stain

Start by lightly scraping away the excess eye shadow. Be sure to use a soft, non-abrasive brush or tool, such as a soft toothbrush or cotton swab. This will help ensure that you don’t damage the fabric.

Step 2: Soak Stain

If possible, soak the stained area in cold water. Allow it to soak for at least 15 minutes, but no more than 30 minutes. This will help loosen stain and make it easier to remove later.

Step 3: Create a Cleaning Solution

Mix a cleaning solution of laundry detergent and cold water. Use about one teaspoon of detergent for every cup of water. Make sure the detergent completely dissolves in the water before using it.

Step 4: Apply the Solution

Apply the cleaning solution to the stained area and allow it to sit for several minutes. Then, gently rub the fabric together between your fingers. If necessary, use an old toothbrush to help work the solution into the stain.

Step 5: Rinse and Repeat

Rinse the fabric in cold water and check to see if the stain is still present. If it is, repeat Steps 3-4 until the stain is gone. Once the stain is gone, rinse the fabric one last time in cold water.

Step 6: Dry the Fabric

Once the fabric is free of the stain, lay it flat on a towel and allow it to air dry. If you must dry it using a dryer, use the lowest heat setting possible.

Conclusion

With these simple steps, you can easily remove eye shadow stains from poplin fabric. Just remember to be gentle and take your time so that you don’t damage the fabric.
