Step 1: Pre-treat with Laundry Detergent

Start by putting a few drops of liquid laundry detergent directly onto the stained area. Use an old toothbrush or cotton swab to work the detergent into the fabric. Let it sit for several minutes before rinsing off detergent with water.

Step 2: Apply Stain Remover

If the stain is still visible after you’ve rinsed the garment, it’s time to use a stain remover. Most store-bought stain removers will work, but if you have a specialty product specifically designed for eye shadow stains, that would be ideal. Work the stain remover into the fabric and let it sit for five minutes before rinsing it off again.

Step 3: Wash in Warm Water

Put the garment into your washing machine and set it for a warm water cycle. Add a little bit of mild detergent to the wash and then let the cycle run its course. After the wash is complete, check the garment for any remaining stain spots. If everything looks good, you can put garment in the dryer.

Step 4: Repeat if Necessary

If there are still areas of the garment that show signs of the eye shadow stain, repeat these steps until all the staining is gone. It may take several washes to completely get rid of stain.

Conclusion

Cleaning eye shadow stains from traditional clothing requires a little bit of patience and persistence. But using these steps, as well as a good quality stain remover, you should be able to remove the stain from your clothing easily.
