Removing Eye Shadow Stain on a Wrap Dress
Step 1: Start with water and a cloth. Before trying anything else, try dabbing stain gently with a damp, white cloth. Don’t scrub – you don’t want to work the color further into the fabric. If this doesn’t work, move on to more aggressive solutions.
Step 2: Spot-clean with a detergent. Make a paste of one part water and one part mild liquid detergent (such as woolite). Apply the paste to the stain, and let it sit for 15 minutes. Then, moisten a clean cloth in warm water and gently dab stain until it starts to fade away.
Step 3: Wash the dress. Rinse the dress in cold water, and then wash it according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This should remove any remaining eye shadow stain.
Preventing Future Eye Shadow Stains
For a fool-proof way to prevent future eye shadow stains on your wrap dress, always spray a layer of stain repellent or protectant over the garment before getting dressed. This will create a barrier between your clothes and any makeup that might rub off onto them.
Other Tips for Removing Eye Shadow Stains
In addition to these steps for removing eye shadow stains from wrap dresses, keep the following tips in mind:
- Always test a small area of the garment before applying any solution.
- If the stain is still there after the first treatment, repeat the same steps.
- For best results, work quickly – the longer the stain sits, the harder it will be to remove.
- Use gentle pressure when dabbing stain – too much pressure may spread the color.
