Step 1: Pre-Treat the Stain

Before tackling the stain with soap and water, pre-treat the area with a stain remover spray or liquid laundry detergent. Let the product sit for 10-15 minutes before doing anything else. Use a soft bristled toothbrush to gently scrub the area to help loosen the stain.

Step 2: Soak the Item

Once the stain pre-treatment is complete, fill a basin or sink with lukewarm water and a few drops of liquid laundry detergent. Completely submerge the item and let it soak for 30 minutes.

Step 3: Wash and Dry the Garment

After soaking the garment, rinse it out in warm water to remove the detergent. Then, wash the item in a washing machine using normal detergent and the warmest setting that’s safe for the fabric. When the cycle is finished, dry the garment according to the care instructions. The heat from the dryer helps set the stain, making it easier to get out.

Tips for Keeping Your Underwear Looking Great

  • Apply an anti-stain spray after each wash to protect your garments.
  • Wash light and dark colored items separately to avoid color transfer.
  • Be sure to check inside pockets and cuffs for eye shadow residue.
  • Always read and follow care labels when laundering garments.
