What is Rouge?
Rouge is a type of cosmetic powder made from powdered minerals or dyes that give skin a rosy tint when applied. Rouge improves skin tone and adds shine and sheen. It’s a popular makeup product that women have used for centuries to enhance their facial beauty.
Why is Removing Rouge-Stains from Nylon Difficult?
Nylon is a synthetic fabric that is highly resistant to stains and dirt. Because nylon is a plastic material, rouge particles remain embedded in the fabric, making it difficult to remove. Additionally, since rouge contains oil and wax, it can be very greasy, which can make it even harder to clean.
How to Deal with Rouge Stains on Nylon
- Put on a pair of rubber gloves before dealing with stain.
- Place the stained clothing item over several layers of paper towels.
- Spray the stain lightly with a generous amount of hairspray.
- Gently rub the hairspray into the stain using a soft cloth.
- Let it sit for 10-15 minutes, then rinse fabric with cold water.
- If the stain remains, rub a small amount of liquid dish soap directly onto the stain, and let it sit for an additional 10-15 minutes.
- Rinse the fabric with cold water, and wash it according to care label instructions.
- Check the stained area to ensure stain has been removed.
