The best way to tackle foundation stains on a sundress is to pre-treat them with a stain remover before laundering. Products like OxiClean or Biz are great options for this. Simply follow the instructions on the package and let the product sit on the fabric for at least 15 minutes. You may even want to lightly agitate the stained area with a toothbrush during this process to help the solution do its job.

After the stain remover has done its work, it's time to toss the sundress in the washer. Make sure to check the fabric label for the care instruction for the material before laundering. Some fabrics require more delicate treatment than others.

Once your sundress has been washed, hang it up to dry immediately. Heat will set any remaining stains so it is important not to put the sundress in the dryer or iron it. If the stain remains, repeat the pre-treatment process and follow up with a proper laundering.

If you have an especially tough stain or if the traditional methods have not worked, there are sprays available specifically for foundation stains. Just make sure to read the label for the manufacturer’s directions before you start spraying. It is important to take care when using these products as some may cause damage to delicate fabrics.

With just a little bit of care and attention, your sundress can be free of foundation stains soon enough. If you follow these steps and treat the stain quickly, you’ll be able to restore your sundress to its former glory in no time!
