Step 1: Pre-Treat with Shaving Cream
Using a shaving cream specifically designed for sensitive skin, gently rub the cream into stained area before laundering. Allow the cream to sit on the fabric for at least 5 minutes before attempting to wash it.
Step 2: Launder with Cold Water
Set the washing machine for a cold water cycle and add a detergent to help break down the foundation stains. Run the cycle then check the clothes to see if the stain has been removed. If not, repeat this step until the stain is fully gone.
Step 3: Air Dry or Machine Dry on Low Heat
If your garment is labeled "air dry only", then hang it inside out and allow it to dry in a cool, dark spot. If you can safely use a low heat setting on the dryer, go ahead and machine dry the garment. It's important to ensure stain is completely gone before drying or else it could set permanently.
