Removing Wet Foundation Stains

If you notice the foundation stain while it's still wet, you can try blotting or scraping the excess off with a spoon or butter knife. Then, run the fabric under cold running water from the back of the stain to help rinse out excess. Don't rub the stain, as this will only spread it.

Removing Dried Foundation Stains

If the foundation has already dried, scrape off any excess with a butter knife or spoon before attempting to treat the stain. Dip a cotton ball into rubbing alcohol, then dab stain with the cotton ball until stain is saturated. Once you have saturated the stain, dab it with a paper towel to help reduce mark. If any of color is still present, place the fabric face down on a paper towel, then apply rubbing alcohol to the back of the stain, working it through to front. Let the rubbing alcohol sit on the stain for several minutes, then rinse the fabric with cold water and let air dry.

Using Detergent

If the prior methods don't fully remove the foundation stain, you can pre-treat area with a liquid laundry detergent, such as Tide. Squeeze a small amount of detergent directly onto the stained area, then rub gently in a back-and-forth motion. Use cold water to rinse the detergent out and repeat if necessary. If the stain remains after washing, repeat the detergent process followed by additional rinsing. For persistent foundation stains, you may want to consider using a pre-wash stain remover.

Caring for Nautica Clothing

When caring for clothing made of Nautica fabrics, it's important to follow the care instructions that come with garments. Some styles may be dry clean only, while others may require hand-washing. Not following the care instructions could cause the fabric to shrink, fade, or even damage fabric. For best results, read the label and take special care when washing or drying your Nautica apparel.
