Things You'll Need:
- Sponge
- Soapy water
- Liquid laundry detergent
- Towel
Step 1: Blot The Stain
Using a clean, dry sponge, blot the stained area gently to remove any excess mascara residue. Be sure not to rub or scrub, as this may cause the stain to spread further.
Step 2: Soak in Soapy Water
Mix a solution of lukewarm water and liquid dish soap in a bowl, and soak the stained area of the fabric in it. Allow it to sit for about 15 minutes.
Step 3: Scrub With Detergent
Once the fabric has finished soaking, scrub the stained area lightly with a small amount of liquid laundry detergent. Rinse the area with cold water.
Step 4: Dry The Fabric
Blot the fabric with a clean towel. Do not wring the fabric or twist it to dry, as this may cause the stain to set in further. Allow the fabric to air dry.
