What You'll Need

  • A small bowl
  • One teaspoon of liquid detergent
  • One teaspoon of white vinegar
  • A clean, lint-free cloth
  • Paper towels
  • Lukewarm water

Instructions

  1. Mix one teaspoon of liquid detergent and one teaspoon of white vinegar with about one cup of lukewarm water in your small bowl.
  2. Dip your clean, lint-free cloth into the mixture and carefully dab the mascara stain.
  3. Continue to dab until stain is gone. If necessary, you can use an old toothbrush to remove any residue.
  4. Once the stain is gone, blot the area with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  5. Repeat the process if needed.

Tips

  • It's important to use a clean, lint-free cloth when cleaning your activewear. Lint from the cloth can transfer onto the fabric and make stain harder to remove.
  • Avoid using hot water when cleaning your activewear, as it can cause the stain to set and become more difficult to remove.
  • It's best to do spot cleaning as soon as possible after the mascara stain occurs.
  • If your activewear is machine washable, you can try washing it with a mild detergent and warm water.
