Spandex is the perfect fabric for adding stretch and breathability to clothing, making it a popular choice for activewear. But when you’re wearing activewear, smudges of makeup from your eyeshadow can land on your spandex and create unsightly or permanent stains.
The first step in cleaning eye shadow stains from spandex is to look at care label for instructions on how to clean the garment safely. It’s important to follow the manufacturer’s care instructions in order to avoid damaging fabric.
If care label says the garment is safe to machine wash, mix a few drops of liquid laundry detergent with warm water in a bowl. Dip a clean cloth into the mixture and blot the stained area. Do not rub or scrub the fabric as this could cause further damage.
If the stain persists after pre-treating with laundry detergent, apply a few drops of white vinegar directly to the stain. Let it sit for a few minutes before gently scrubbing the area with a toothbrush. Repeat this step until the stain has disappeared.
Once stain has been removed, throw the garment in the washing machine using the temperature and cycle recommended by the care label. Air dry the garment afterwards for best results.
Cleaning eye shadow stains from spandex is simple if you take the right steps. Remember to always check the care label for instructions on how to properly clean the garment, pre-treat the stains, and then machine wash. With these steps, you can easily remove eye shadow stains from spandex.
