Step 1: Make Sure The Stain Is Fresh

The first step in cleaning a mascara stain is to make sure that the stain is fresh. If the stain has already set into the fabric, it may be difficult to remove completely. It’s best to act quickly to try and remove the stain as soon as possible.

Step 2: Wet The Stain With A Clean Cloth

Once you’ve identified stain, wet the area with a clean cloth or paper towel. This will help lift the mascara out of the fabric and allow it to be easier to remove.

Step 3: Use Detergent And Vinegar

Mix together equal parts laundry detergent and white vinegar. Apply the mixture to the stain and rub gently. The vinegar will help cut through the mascara and the detergent will help remove any of the oily residue left behind.

Step 4: Rinse And Repeat

Rinse the area with cool water and then repeat Steps 2 and 3 until stain is completely gone. Be sure to keep an eye on the stain as you are cleaning it to make sure that it is completely gone.

Step 5: Launder As Usual

Once the stain has been removed, launder the garment as usual. If the stain does not come out completely after laundering, repeat the steps above until the stain is completely gone.

Conclusion

Mascara stains don't have to ruin your business suit. With a few simple steps, you can quickly and effectively remove mascara stains from your suit without damaging the fabric.
