With the right treatments, a rouge stain can be removed from Forever 21 garments and other clothes with relative ease. The key is to identify the type of rouge stain, as this will determine the best possible cleaning method. Depending on the type, an overnight treatment, some pre-washing treatments or even professional dry-cleaning may be necessary. Here's what you need to know:
There are two main types of rouge stains: oil-based and water-based. You can identify the type of rouge stain by touching the mark. If the mark is greasy and does not come off by rubbing or blotting it, then it is most likely an oil-based rouge stain. Oil-based rouge stains generally last longer and are harder to remove than water-based stains.
For water-based rouge stains, there are two common methods of removal: pre-treatment and laundering. The first step is to pre-treat the stain with a stain remover. Apply the stain remover to area and allow it to sit for 10 to 15 minutes before thoroughly washing it in warm water.
If the stain is still present after laundering, it is advised to use a professional dry-cleaner. They will be able to use specialized solvents to get rid of tough stains without damaging the fabric.
Oil-based rouge stains require a slightly different approach to removal. Start by dabbing the area with a clean cloth soaked in cool water. This will help to absorb some of the oil from stain. Do not rub or scrub the stain, as this may cause it to spread.
Next, apply a small amount of mild detergent directly onto the stain. Gently dab area with a clean cloth until the detergent has been completely absorbed into the fabric. Allow the detergent to work on the stain for at least 30 minutes before laundering.
If the stain is still present after laundering, it is recommended to use a professional dry-cleaner or have the garment washed through a cold-water cycle. Professional dry-cleaners have specialized solvents that can effectively remove the toughest of stains.
When it comes to preventing rouge stains on Forever 21 garments, regular care and maintenance is essential. Before laundering your clothes, it is important to read the manufacturer's care instructions on how to properly wash the garment. Pay special attention to any items that require special care or a professional dry-cleaner.
In addition, make sure to always check pockets and other areas of garment for rouge and lipstick residues before washing. This will help to ensure that the stain doesn't become more difficult to remove over time.
