Pre-Treat the Stain
It is important to pre-treat rouge stains before attempting to clean them. The first step is to use a soft bristled brush to gently remove any particles or debris from the fabric. If necessary, blot up any excess liquid with a paper towel. Then generously sprinkle baking soda or cornstarch onto the stain, making sure to cover it completely. Allow the powder to sit for at least 15 minutes before vacuuming it up.
Add Detergent
After pre-treating the stain, mix a small amount of mild detergent with a cup of warm water. Use a clean cloth to apply the solution to the stain and allow it to sit for 10 to 15 minutes. Then, use a brush to agitate the fabric and further break down the stain. Rinse the affected area thoroughly with cold water to ensure all residue has been removed.
Use Bleach
If the stain is still present after pre-treatment and detergent application, you can try using bleach to remove it. Mix one part bleach with five parts water and pour the solution directly onto stain. Work the solution into the fabric using a brush and allow it to sit for 10 minutes. Once time has elapsed, rinse area with cold water and air dry.
Avoid Heat
When cleaning rouge stains from twill, it is important to avoid heat. Heat can make the stain set permanently, so always use cold water when rinsing. Additionally, be sure not to put the fabric in the dryer until you are sure the stain has been completely removed.
Conclusion
Removing rouge stains from twill can be a difficult process, but with the right cleaning techniques and a bit of patience, it can be done. Pre-treat the stain with baking soda or cornstarch, apply detergent, and use bleach as a last resort. Most importantly, avoid heat throughout the entire cleaning process.
