Everyone who wears makeup has had the same issue at least once: mascara ending up all over our clothing and accessories. But how can you clean mascara out of your backpack without ruining it? With these tips, you can get rid of the stain quickly and easily.
One of the most gentle yet effective ways to remove a mascara stain from your backpack is to use whole milk and a sponge. The fat in the milk helps to break down the mascara and soften the stain, making it easier to remove. Soak a small piece of sponge with the milk and gently dab at the stain. You should repeat this process several times until the stain is gone.
Another way to remove a mascara stain from fabric is to use a laundry detergent. Take a damp cloth and mix a small amount of laundry detergent into it. Gently rub the stain in circles and rinse the cloth off with warm water after a few minutes. Repeat this process until the stain is removed.
If your backpack is made of leather, then you can use lemon juice and salt to remove the mascara stain. Take a pinch of salt and sprinkle it over the stain, then squeeze a few drops of lemon juice onto the area. Rub the area gently with a damp cloth and the stain should come out. Once the stain is removed, wipe the area down with a wet cloth to remove any remaining residue.
For a more stubborn mascara stain, you can try using alcohol and a cotton pad. Take a cotton pad and pour a small amount of rubbing alcohol onto it. Gently dab the cotton pad onto the stain and the alcohol will help to break down the mascara. Once the stain is gone, wipe the area down with a wet cloth to remove any excess alcohol.
No one wants to have to deal with mascara stains on their backpack, but luckily there are some easy ways to remove them. Whether you use whole milk, laundry detergent, lemon juice and salt, or alcohol and a cotton pad, you'll be able to get rid of the stain quickly and easily.
