How to Get Makeup Off White Collars

Published in Laundry & Stain Removal 2 mins read

To remove makeup stains from a white collar, a recommended method involves using makeup brush cleaner.

Sometimes, standard laundry detergents or stain removers may not be effective on stubborn makeup residue. A practical solution, especially noted for effectiveness on white fabrics used with makeup, is to apply a cheap makeup brush cleaner directly to the stain.

Step-by-Step Guide Using Makeup Brush Cleaner

Based on user experience, using makeup brush cleaner can tackle makeup stains on white collars more effectively than regular washing.

Here's a simple approach:

  • Identify the Stain: Locate the makeup stain on your white collar.
  • Apply Makeup Brush Cleaner: Apply a small amount of a inexpensive makeup brush cleaner (like one from Daiso, as suggested) directly onto the makeup stain.
  • Hand Wash in Sink: Take the item to the sink and hand wash the stained area. Use lukewarm water.
  • Agitate the Stain: Gently rub the fabric together where the stain is. For extra help in lifting the stain, you can use a cheap silicone face scrubber to gently work the cleaner into the fabric fibers.
  • Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse the area under running water until the cleaner and stain are removed.
  • Check Before Drying: Ensure the stain is completely gone before drying the item, as heat can set stains. If the stain persists, repeat the process.

This method is particularly useful for white items that frequently come into contact with makeup, offering a targeted approach to stain removal.
