INTRODUCTION

Makeup stains can be frustrating to deal with, especially when they end up on your favorite clothing or linens. However, with the right technique, removing makeup stains can be a quick and easy fix. Whether it's foundation on your shirt collar or lipstick on your pillowcase, a simple solution using household items can help lift the stain and leave your fabric looking good as new. In this outline, we'll go through a step-by-step guide to removing makeup stains using shaving cream or a dish soap mixture.

Here's an easy outline for removing makeup stains from clothing or linens:

I. Gather Materials

- Shaving cream or a mixture of dish soap and hydrogen peroxide

- Clean, damp cloth or sponge

- Towel or paper towels

II. Apply Shaving Cream or Dish Soap Mixture

- If using shaving cream, apply a small amount to the stain and let sit for a few minutes.

- If using a dish soap mixture, mix equal parts dish soap and hydrogen peroxide and apply to the stain.

- Gently rub the solution into the stain with your fingers or a clean cloth.

III. Blot the Stain

- Using a clean, damp cloth or sponge, blot the stain gently to lift it from the fabric.

- Be careful not to rub the stain, as this can cause it to spread.

IV. Rinse and Repeat

- Rinse the area with cold water to remove any excess solution and check to see if the stain has been removed.

- If the stain is still visible, repeat steps II and III until the stain is gone.

V. Dry the Fabric

- Once the stain has been removed, gently blot the area with a clean towel or paper towels to remove excess water.

- Allow the fabric to air dry completely before using or laundering it.

Note: Always check the care label on your clothing or linens before attempting to remove stains, as some fabrics may require special cleaning instructions.
