Tussah fabric is one of the most sought-after materials when it comes to clothing, carpets and even upholstery. But its delicate nature means that it is prone to staining - especially from oil-based items such as makeup. Mascara, in particular, can wreak havoc on tussah fabric.

Fortunately, you don’t need to replace the item or leave it stained. With right cleaning techniques, you can easily remove mascara stains from tussah and prevent them from marring the material.

Removing Mascara Stains from Tussah Fabrics

  • The first step is to scrape off any excess mascara with a butter knife or spoon. Be careful not to push the stain further into the fabric fibers.
  • Next, create a mild cleaning solution by mixing equal parts of water and white vinegar.
  • Using a soft-bristled brush, lightly scrub stain with the solution. Be careful not to cause any fraying or damage to the fabric.
  • Allow the solution to sit on the stain for 10-15 minutes before rinsing it off with cold water.
  • If stain persists, soak it in a 2:1 solution of detergent and water for 20-30 minutes.
  • Wash the tussah fabric in a washing machine with a mild detergent and cold water. Dry the fabric completely in the air.

Additional Tips

  • The sooner you clean the stain, the better are your chances of success.
  • It’s best to take the item to a professional cleaner if stain is stubborn or large.
  • Avoid using harsh chemicals that may damage the tussah fabric.

Conclusion

Removing mascara stains from tussah fabric is not a difficult job, but it requires patience and dedication. Follow the steps outlined above and get rid of the stubborn stains in a jiffy!
