Eye shadow is a great way to spruce up your look, but it also has the potential to make a mess on your clothing. If you have stained your sleep shirt with eye shadow, don't fret! Removing eye shadow isn't as difficult as you may think.

Start by removing any solid pieces of eye shadow first, using a spoon or dull knife. Never rub the stained area with your fingers, as this will work the eye shadow into the fabric and make it harder to remove. You can also use a vacuum cleaner attachment to help lift out any clumps of eye shadow.
Once you've removed as much of the eye shadow as you can, prepare a solution of cold water and laundry detergent. Start by saturating stained area with the solution. Allow the cleaning product to sit on the stain for 15 minutes or so.
Next, scrub the area gently with a soft-bristled brush, such as an old toothbrush. Avoid using a brush with stiff bristles, as it can fray and damage the fabric. Rinse the area with cold water, then apply a pre-treatment spray or liquid. Allow the pretreatment to set in for 30 minutes before washing.
Finally, launder the shirt however you would normally. Before drying, check to make sure the eye shadow stain is gone. If not, repeat the entire process until stain is no longer visible.
Never do laundry again. Save time for things you ❤️
