Materials Needed
- Cotton cloth patches
- Mild laundry detergent
- White vinegar
Step-by-Step Guide
- Act quickly! Grab some cotton cloth patches, and use them to blot the excess rouge from the coat. Do not rub or scrub at it – this could spread the stain and make it harder to remove.
- Mix together a small amount of mild laundry detergent with white vinegar. Test this mixture somewhere inconspicuous first to ensure it doesn't damage or discolour the fabric.
- Apply the detergent/vinegar mix to the stained area, using a clean cloth patch. Blot the stain gently but firmly, avoiding rubbing it.
- If the stain persists, try adding a few drops of dishwashing liquid to the stain and repeating the blotting process.
- Rinse the area with cool water and blot dry to remove any remaining residue.
- Check the label of your coat to determine whether it is suitable for machine washing. If so, set the machine on a gentle hand wash cycle and hang up to air-dry.
Preventing Future Rouge Stains
- Avoid applying makeup whilst wearing your coat.
- Always make sure to keep makeup containers firmly sealed, to avoid spillages.
- Consider investing in a makeup bag, which can be carried inside your coat to prevent any accidents.
