Step 1: Blot, Don't Rub
If you wake up with a makeup stain on your clothes, first step is to blot the area gently with a white cloth or paper towel. Do not rub or scrub the stain. This will help prevent it from spreading and getting worse.
Step 2: Pre-Treat With a Stain Remover
Then, use a stain remover such as dish soap, laundry detergent, or vinegar to pre-treat the area. Let the solution sit on the stain for a few minutes before rinsing it off with cold water.
Step 3: Wash With Detergent
Once stain has been pre-treated, put the item in the washing machine with a gentle detergent and lukewarm water. Choose the gentlest cycle to avoid damaging the fabric.
Step 4: Check and Repeat
When the cycle is finished, check the item to make sure the stain is gone. If it's still there, repeat the process. You may need to pre-treat a few times if stain is stubborn.
Step 5: Finish With Fabric Softener (Optional)
If the stain is now gone, you can add fabric softener to the last rinse cycle to keep fabric soft. This will also help prevent the stain from coming back.
Conclusion
By following these steps, you can easily get rid of those pesky mascara stains on your sleepwear. Good luck!
