When it comes to cleaning eye shadow stains from silk tussah, the first step is to identify what type of eye shadow was used. Different types of eye shadows react differently to cleaning solutions, so it's important to use the right approach. For example, if the eye shadow has an oil-based formula, it will require a different cleaning solution than an eyeshadow with a water-based formula.
Once you have identified the type of eye shadow, next step is to gather the necessary cleaning supplies. You'll need a clean, white cloth, rubbing alcohol, and a mild detergent. Start by dampening the white cloth with some rubbing alcohol, then gently dab at the stain. Be sure to use a gentle dabbing motion, as you don't want to push stain deeper into the fabric.
Once the stain has been completely saturated with rubbing alcohol, use the mild detergent and damp cloth to gently scrub the area. Be sure to use small circular motions while scrubbing, and avoid putting too much pressure on the fabric. Then, rinse affected area with warm water, and let it air-dry or blot it dry with a dry cloth.
These steps should help remove most eye shadow stains from silk tussah. However, if the stain has still not been removed after following these steps, then it's best to take the item to a professional cleaner for further assistance.
