Rouge may seem like a harmless beauty aid, but it can be a challenge to remove from clothing fabrics. In particular, crepe fabrics tend to retain rouge residue more easily and require special attention. To effectively remove rouge stains from crepe fabric without damaging the fabric itself, you'll need a few simple household items.
Steps to Remove Rouge Stains from Crepe
- Mix one tablespoon of liquid dish soap with two cups of warm water in a bowl; the mixture should have suds.
- Dip a sponge, cloth, or soft-bristled brush into the soapy mixture and lightly scrub stain. For mild stains, use a circular motion until the stain fades away.
- If the stain remains, combine one tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice with one cup of warm water, then use that mixture to saturate the stain.
- Leave the mixture on the stain for 10 minutes, then use a damp cloth to blot the area.
- Rinse with warm water, pat dry with a soft cloth, and repeat as necessary.
Tips
- Test a small, hidden area of the fabric with the liquid dish soap and white vinegar/lemon juice before using these on the stain.
- For tougher stains, use undiluted white vinegar or lemon juice to keep the fabric from stretching or fading.
- For best results, launder the fabric immediately after treating the stain.
