Rouge is a popular cosmetic, and unfortunately it’s also one of the more difficult stains to remove. The good news is that with the right techniques, it’s possible to restore your Zara clothing back to its original state. Here are a few simple steps for removing rouge stains from your favorite Zara garments.
1. Check Zara’s Care Instructions
The first step is to check the garment’s care label. Some materials, such as dry-clean only fabrics or certain delicate materials, will be particularly sensitive to cleaning products. Pay attention to these instructions before proceeding with any stain removal treatment.
2. Blot, Don't Rub
Once you’re sure it’s safe to begin, repeat this simple step: use a clean, white cloth to blot the stain, and then rinse with cool water. Avoid using hot water, as this could cause the stain to set. Make sure to rinse the cloth often to prevent the rouge from spreading.
3. Use Detergent & White Vinegar
If the stain persists, create a mixture of liquid detergent and white vinegar. Use one part detergent and two parts vinegar, and apply this solution to the stained area. Let it sit for 10 minutes, and then rinse with cool water. If the stain still hasn’t come out, follow this up with the same technique using rubbing alcohol.
4. Consider Professional Cleaning
If the stain still doesn’t come out, consider taking the garment to a professional dry cleaner. Be sure to tell them about rouge stain, as this will help them choose the most effective cleaning method.
Wrapping Up
Stains might be embarrassing but they don’t have to be permanent. With some gentle care and the right cleaning solutions, you’ll be able to restore your Zara garments back to their original condition. Just be sure to check the garment’s care label before removing any stains.
