Step 1: Dilute the Rouge Stain with Water

Mix a teaspoon of gentle liquid detergent with a cup of warm water. Gently dab area with the mixture, making sure not to rub the fabric so that the rouge does not settle further into wrap dress.

Step 2: Apply Baby Powder to Absorb Rouge

Sprinkle a generous amount of baby powder onto the rouge-stained area and allow it to sit for 30 minutes or until the powder has absorbed all of the rouge. Then use an old brush or a lint roller to remove the powder.

Step 3: Rinse the Area with Cold Water

Fill a bowl with cold water and soak the area for 5 minutes. This should help to remove any remaining rouge stains. Once done, rinse the area with warm water.

Step 4: Treat the Area with a Detergent

Now that the stain has been removed, you can treat area with a gentle liquid detergent. Rub the detergent into the fabric and then allow it to sit for 10 minutes before rinsing with warm water.

Step 5: Hang the Dress to Dry

Once the area has dried, hang the wrap dress up and let it air dry. Avoid using a tumble dryer as this can shrink the dress.

Conclusion

Cleaning rouge stains from your wrap dress doesn't have to be a daunting task. Follow these steps and you will have your dress looking as good as new in no time.
