Step 1: Prepare a Cleaning Solution

To start, make a solution of equal parts water and white vinegar. You can also add a drop of laundry detergent to help break down the oils and proteins in the mascara. The vinegar will help dissolve stain, so make sure you have enough to cover the area.

Step 2: Soak the Stain

Once you have your cleaning solution prepared, soak the stained area in it for 15 minutes. This should help loosen up and dissolve the mascara. You may need to agitate the fabric gently with your fingers to really get into the fibers and work out the stain.

Step 3: Rinse and Repeat

After the 15 minutes is up, rinse the fabric under cold running water until the water runs clear. If the stain is still visible, repeat Steps 1 and 2 until the stain is completely removed.

Step 4: Let Dry

Once you’ve successfully removed the stain, let fabric air dry. Don’t put it in dryer, as the heat may set the stain. Hang it up to dry, or lay it flat on a towel.
