Materials Needed
- Fabric stain remover spray, such as Shout Advanced Trigger Spray
- A bristled brush
- Soft cloth
- Cup filled with warm water
Steps to Clean Mascara Stains from Wedges
- Spray the stained area. Generously apply fabric stain remover spray to the area. Make sure to completely cover stain in cleaning agent.
- Let the spray soak in. Allow the spray to sit for five minutes to give the cleaning agent enough time to break down the stain.
- Scrub the area with the bristled brush. Using a circular motion, gently scrub the stained area with the brush. Make sure not to apply too much pressure so as to preserve the wedge material.
- Rinse the area with warm water. Dip a soft cloth in warm water and carefully rinse area until all of the foam from the fabric cleaner is gone.
- Allow the wedges to air dry. Once you’ve removed all of the foam, set the wedges in a well-ventilated space and allow them to dry thoroughly.
Tips for Removing Mascara Stains
- If stains are particularly stubborn, repeat steps 1-5.
- For particularly light-colored wedges, always test a small amount of fabric cleaner on an unnoticeable area of shoe first.
- Be sure to leave the wedges in a well-ventilated area after going through the cleaning process, as the smell of the fabric cleaner could linger.
