Fabrics stained with makeup are often very difficult to remove. Traces of lipstick, foundation or eyeliner should not be removed in the washing machine, but require pre-washing and should be treated carefully to make the garments look like new again.
They are usually thrown into the washing machine, and 1,000 products are poured directly into the drum or detergent drawer, in the hope that one of them, such as bleach, for example, might act to solve the problem.
This does not happen, because sometimes the stain even hardens without being treated properly. So, at first you lose a lot of time between one wash and the next, then you turn to the laundromat, which, with its professional and very expensive products, manages to remove any stain.
Natural remedies, here’s why we prefer them
First of all, it is advisable to try some foolproof natural remedies . There are products that we all have at home, or rather in particular in the kitchen, that act immediately, with extreme gentleness , allowing you to obtain incredible results without spending a single euro.
The ingredients we use in the kitchen should be chosen based on the stain and the types of fabrics stained by the makeup . It happens to everyone at least once in their life, squeezing the tube of foundation to release the product, when suddenly a large quantity of cosmetic comes out, splashing the bathroom glass and inevitably the clothes.
Whether it’s a T-shirt or a shirt, you can try an ingredient that is present everywhere and is never missing in the kitchen: baking soda. Rub the product on the stain, perhaps with a toothbrush. After a few minutes , the stain will disappear. The garment can then be placed directly in the washing machine.
Cotton and delicate fabrics, how to remove stains too
If it is a cotton food, it is best to use hydrogen peroxide instead. Whereas, for stains caused by beauty creams, talcum powder is used, which should be brushed well on the stain, this even removes the marks.
As for delicate fabrics, wool stains can be cleaned with ether, silk stains can be removed with warm water and a little neutral detergent, and stains on carpets and rugs can be removed simply with shampoo.
