How to Deal with Ann Taylor Foundation Stains
Makeup stains are inevitable, especially if you’re fond of wearing foundation. Even if several brands of foundation are formulated to be long-lasting and smudge-resistant, there will still be times when these makeups can leave stain marks on clothes, especially those that are made with delicate fabrics. If you’re wearing a dress from Ann Taylor that has encountered foundation stains, here are a few tips to help you clean it up.

Using Detergent Solutions
The first and most effective way to remove foundation stains from your Ann Taylor clothes is to use a detergent solution. Mix a teaspoon of your favorite laundry detergent with warm water in a bowl, then use a white cloth to apply the solution directly over the stained area. Leave this solution for a few minutes to let it penetrate the fabric and remove makeup stain. Once done, rinse solution off with cold water then hang it up to dry.
Removing the Stain with Rubbing Alcohol
If the detergent solution did not work, you can try using rubbing alcohol to help remove the foundation stain. Soak a piece of cloth or cotton swab with rubbing alcohol, then dab it gently on the stained area. Avoid scrubbing or rubbing the fabric as this can cause foundation stain to spread even further. Let the alcohol sit on fabric for a few minutes before rinsing it off with cold water. Hang it up to dry afterwards.
Using a Professional Garment Cleaner
If the above solutions still fail to remove the foundation stain from your Ann Taylor clothes, your best bet would be to bring it to a professional garment cleaner. They have the right tools and products to help remove stubborn makeup stains from delicate fabrics without causing damage to the fabric. Remember to inquire about their cleaning method first to make sure that process won’t harm the material.
