Instructions
- Before you begin, check the tag on your Aeropostale clothing to determine if it is colorfast and whether it can be safely bleached. If the clothing is not colorfast, it may be permanently damaged by the cleaning process.
- Run a sink full of cold water and rinse the fabric with the rouge stain on it. Do not use hot water as the heat will set the stain.
- Mix 1 teaspoon of liquid laundry detergent with 1 tablespoon of ammonia in a bowl. Dip a sponge into the mixture and apply it to the stained area. Rub the mixture into the stain until it is no longer visible.
- If the stain persists, mix 2 tablespoons of white vinegar with 1/4 cup of non-chlorine bleach in a bowl. Soak a sponge in the mixture and gently rub it over stained area. Allow the mixture to sit for 15 minutes before rinsing it off with cold water.
- Lift the fabric off the sink and apply a soft bristle brush to area until the stain is removed. Do not scrub too hard or the fabric may stretch.
- Once the stain is removed, rinse area with cold water and blot it with a towel to remove any moisture.
