What You'll Need

  • Rubbing alcohol
  • Cotton balls
  • Powdered detergent
  • A soft-bristled toothbrush
  • A small bowl for mixing liquids

Step 1: Preparing Stain for Cleaning

Before you start cleaning, it's important to remove any remaining powder or residue from area where eye shadow stain is located. Use a cotton ball soaked in rubbing alcohol to blot away the product and help loosen the stain. After you're done, let area dry completely.

Step 2: Apply Detergent

Once the area is prepped and dry, it's time to start working on the stain. Take a small amount of powdered detergent and mix it with a few drops of rubbing alcohol until it forms a paste-like consistency. Then, use the mixture to gently rub the area where eye shadow stain is located. The combination of the rubbing alcohol and detergent should help break down the stain and make it easier to remove.

Step 3: Scrub the Stain

After the detergent mixture has had some time to sit and work its magic, take a soft-bristled toothbrush and use it to scrub the area where the eye shadow stain is located. Don't be too aggressive; you don't want to damage the fabric of the stocking. Keep scrubbing until the stain is gone and then rinse off the area with cold water.

Step 4: Let It Air Dry

Now that the eye shadow stain is gone, it's time to let the stockings dry. Hang them up to air dry and make sure they are not exposed to direct sunlight or sources of heat, as this could damage fabric. Once they're dry, give them a final inspection and make sure all the stains have been removed!

Conclusion

With just a few simple steps, those pesky eye shadow stains can be removed from your stockings with ease! All it takes is a few household items, some elbow grease, and a bit of patience, and you'll have your stockings looking like new in no time.
