The first step is the pre-treatment of the stained area. It is important to try and remove as much of the stain as possible before washing with detergent. To do this, take a few drops of mild liquid dishwashing detergent on a wet white cloth. Gently rub at the mascara stain and press down with the cloth to remove it. Do this until no more of the stain comes off.

Once the pre-treating is done, it is now time to tackle the stain with a detergent. Depending on the fabric of your t-shirt, you can choose either a liquid or powder detergent. For delicate fabric, a liquid detergent can be a better option as a powder can cause fabric discoloration. Take a teaspoon of detergent and combine it with warm water. Dilute the detergent and soak the stained area of the T-shirt in the solution for 30 minutes.

After the soaking, wash the t-shirt on its own in washing machine. It is crucial to not mix any other clothes with the stained t-shirt as that can easily spread the stain further. Use a normal cold or warm water setting on the washing machine, depending on the type of fabric. After the washing is done, examine the t-shirt to see if all the mascara stains have been removed. If some of the stain still persists, repeat the process again.

And there you have it! With this simple method you can get rid of a mascara stain without any difficulty. Follow steps and you will have a clean t-shirt in no time.
