Rouge is an oil-based makeup, primarily composed of talc, waxes, pigments, and other oil-soluble substances. It’s designed to last long and stubbornly resist being removed from clothing. Standard methods of cleaning don’t work because the oils in the makeup repel water and detergents, so it’s important to use a special technique or product for this type of stain.
To treat the stain, start by pre-treating the area with an enzyme-based pre-wash treatment such as Zout. Allow it to sit for thirty minutes before washing. This will help break down oils in the makeup and make it easier to remove stain. Then, use a gentle detergent and warm water to wash the shirt. If the stain is still visible, mix rubbing alcohol and laundry detergent together and use it to pretreat the stain. After that, use a wet brush to scrub the area until stain has been removed. Lastly, air dry the shirt in the sun. Sunlight helps to bleach out remaining traces of the stain.
If the stain is particularly difficult to remove or if you’re using a delicate fabric, it’s best to seek professional help. Contact a dry cleaner and explain the situation. Be sure to inform them of type of fabric, the type of product used, and the nature of the stain. They may be able to use a special method to help remove the stain without damaging fabric.
To avoid getting stains on your Calvin Klein shirt in the future, always wipe off any excess makeup after applying it and be careful not to get makeup on your clothes. When handling makeup, try to avoid spilling or smearing it on your clothes.
