Most makeup products such as eye shadows are oil-based and can be difficult to remove from fabric. Fortunately, cleaning eye shadow off of silk taffeta doesn't have to be an impossible task. With the right supplies and method, you can easily get rid of even the toughest eye shadow stains.
Steps to Remove Eye Shadow Stains From Silk Taffeta
- Place a cloth below the garment to absorb any excess liquid and protect other surfaces.
- Mix a solution of warm water and laundry detergent in a bowl and stir until it forms a lather.
- Dip a clean cloth into soapy solution and dab the stained area.
- Gently scrub the stain in a circular motion, using a little pressure.
- Rinse the stained area with cool water. Be sure to dab, not rub, the fabric while rinsing to avoid spreading stain.
- Blot area with a dry cloth to absorb any remaining moisture.
- Repeat the steps if necessary.
Once all the steps have been completed, hang your garment to air dry. If the stain is still visible after drying, you can try repeating the steps with a stronger solution or soaking the garment in cold water overnight. It's also a good idea to check the care label on the item of clothing before starting the cleaning process.
Additional Tips for Cleaning Eye Shadow Stains Off Taffeta
- Always test a small amount of the cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area of garment first.
- Do not use hot water for cleaning silk garments.
- Avoid applying too much pressure when scrubbing, as this could cause damage to fabric.
- Do not machine wash or dry clean the garment, as this could set the stain.
With the right technique, you can easily remove eye shadow stains from silk taffeta. By following the steps outlined above, you can ensure that your garment looks as good as new.
