When you notice a wet mascara stain on your Puma clothing, the sooner you act better! Soak up any excess product with a paper towel or tissue, and gently work the product out of the fabric. If the stain isn’t coming out easily, use a wet cloth and a mild liquid detergent. Massage the fabric together in a circular motion, rinsing the cloth as needed. Make sure to avoid scrubbing harshly, as this can cause the fibers to fray.
The key to getting out a dried mascara stain is to use an oil-based solution. Start by spraying a mixture of one part rubbing alcohol and one part warm water on the stain. This will help to break down the oil in the mascara. Next, apply a generous amount of shampoo to the stain and rub it in. If the stain is particularly stubborn, you can opt to use an oil-based cleaner such as diluted dish soap.
Once you’ve worked the shampoo into stain, rinse the area with warm water. Finally, launder the garment as you would normally, keeping in mind to check the stain before drying. The heat of the dryer can set the stain, making it almost impossible to remove.
The best way to make sure you never have to contend with mascara stains is to take preventative measures. Start by keeping a pair of shoes specifically for wearing when applying makeup. This will ensure that any mascara smears won’t ruin your favorite pair of Puma shoes. Furthermore, consider investing in a makeup remover towel. These microfiber towels are great for wiping away any excess mascara from your face before it has a chance to transfer onto your Puma clothing.
