The first step in removing mascara stains from tops is to always read the care label to ensure you don’t damage the fabric or cause discoloration.
Once you’ve made sure that it’s safe to proceed, grab some liquid detergent or a pre-treater suitable for this kind of stain. Gently rub detergent into the stained area, and then let it sit for at least 15 minutes.
After letting detergent sit, fill a sink or basin with lukewarm water and soak the garment for 30 minutes. Gently squeeze fabric during soaking process to help lift the mascara. After the garment is finished soaking, rinse the top until the suds are gone.
Next, it’s time to launder the garment. Put the top in the washing machine, set temperature according to the care label, and add some color-safe laundry detergent.
Check the stained areas and wipe away any excess detergent to make sure it’s all out before putting the top in the dryer. Lastly, if the stain is still visible after laundering, repeat the whole process until it’s completely removed.
Don’t let those pesky mascara stains ruin your favourite top. With these simple steps, you can successfully remove mascara stains from your tops without any hassle. Good luck!
