Using a clean, white cloth, begin blotting the stain. Apply light pressure and repeat until you’ve soaked up as much of the mascara as possible.
Gently rub a few drops of dry cleaning detergent into the stained area using a soft cloth. Allow the detergent to remain on the stain for 5 minutes, then rinse the fabric with warm water.
Launder your tie according to its manufacturer’s instructions. If you’re not sure what best cleaning method is, take it to the dry cleaner’s and ask for advice.
If the stain is still visible after laundering, try dabbing rubbing alcohol over it using a cotton swab. Allow the alcohol to air-dry before putting the tie away.
Follow these simple steps and you should be able to successfully remove mascara stains from your favorite ties and make them look like new again.
Never do laundry again. Save time for things you ❤️
