Mascara stains can be tricky to remove from any clothing item, especially when it comes to delicate fabrics like silk and cotton. Often, traditional laundry detergents and stain removers just aren’t strong enough to get rid of those stubborn mascara stains, leaving you feeling defeated and disheartened. However, with these simple steps you’ll be able to remove those mascara stains from your crop top in no time.
Step 1: Treat With Makeup Remover
The first step in tackling a mascara stain on your crop top is to apply a makeup remover or gentle cleanser directly on to the stain. Gently rub with a clean, white cloth or paper towel and work cleanser into the fabric. Allow it to sit for several minutes before rinsing the garment. Depending on how set in the stain is, it may require multiple applications of makeup remover.
Step 2: Spot-Treat the Stain
If stain still persists after treating with makeup remover, it is time to spot-treat the stain. There are many DIY solutions that can help you tackle this stain. Start by combining equal parts water and white vinegar, along with a few drops of liquid soap and mix well. Apply this mixture directly to the stained area and allow it to sit for about 10 minutes. Then, rinse garment with cold water and blot dry with a clean, white cloth. Repeat this process until the stain is gone.
Step 3: Laundry Day
Once you have removed stain, it is time to launder the garment. For best results, turn your crop top inside out and machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water. Avoid using warm or hot water as this can set stain and make it impossible to remove. Use a mild detergent and ensure there are no other items in the load that may cause abrasion or damage to your garment. When the cycle has finished, hang to dry your crop top.
And there you have it. Follow these steps and have your favourite crop top looking clean and fresh again!
