Removing foundation stains on clothes

Base (homemade powder) for a natural foundation without makeup

Due to the chemical composition of the ingredients, such products often cause itching, irritation and rashes on the skin. They are advised to use a self-made, makeup-free foundation made from only natural ingredients. But for this, you first need to prepare a base or natural powder, to which liquid ingredients are then added. So, how to make a foundation at home without cosmetics, we will describe below.

The preparation of the foundation begins with the preparation of a dry base, which would resemble cosmetic powder in consistency. To do this, you need to combine the following ingredients in one bowl:

• arrowroot root powder (a type of food starch) - 2 tbsp. spoons;
• cinnamon powder - 1 ½ tsp;
• cocoa powder - 1 tbsp. spoon.

For women with oily or combination skin, it is recommended to include dry zinc oxide in the composition of homemade powder (1 teaspoon). Mix all the ingredients well and grind again with a coffee grinder to make the base of the foundation have a smoother texture. Homemade powder can be used for its intended purpose, using a wide brush to apply it to the skin.

How to remove lipstick from clothes

Considering that the bulk of the lipsticks used are made on a fat basis, then when considering how to remove lipstick from clothes, it is necessary to proceed, first of all, from the fact that it is necessary to use means that actively break down and neutralize fats.

Of course, the simplest and most affordable way would be to use laundry soap or any dish detergent to remove such a stain. But this method is not always applicable, since it ultimately involves washing the entire soiled thing, and this is not always possible to do right away.

In this case, ethyl alcohol, gasoline, acetone or ammonia can help to quickly and efficiently remove lipstick from clothes. Use a cotton swab or a cloth dampened with one of these products to wipe the lipstick stain until it disappears completely. To cope with stains that may remain on the fabric after removing contamination in this way, and partly from the specific smell of gasoline, acetone or ammonia, table vinegar will help.

Both ingredients must be mixed until a pasty state, applied to the contaminated area and allowed to dry well. After that, the soda must be shaken off the clothes, the remains are cleaned with a brush and the lipstick will be completely removed. Considering that under the influence of citric acid and soda, the paint on clothes may lighten a little, this method is undesirable to use for cleaning colored clothes.

Hydrogen peroxide will do a great job of removing lipstick stains on light-colored clothes, as it itself has a whitening effect. The place of contamination should be moistened with peroxide several times until the lipstick completely disappears from the fabric. Then the clothes cleaned in this way should be washed, preferably with the use of laundry soap, or at least wash the treated area with it.

If there is no hydrogen peroxide at hand, you can also use bleach for linen for these purposes, but you should act with extreme caution, remembering that a colored item can irretrievably shed.

Lightly warmed liquid glycerin can also be quite effective in removing lipstick stains from clothing. For this, glycerin should be applied to the place of contamination, then after 2-3 hours it should be washed off with salted water. Lipstick from fabric will disappear without a trace.

In the case when it is not advisable to not only wash clothes contaminated with lipstick, but even wet it abundantly, turpentine will help to cope with the task that has arisen, since it is an active solvent of fats. It must be applied to the contaminated area of ​​the fabric in such a way that it is thoroughly saturated. After that, a loose paper towel should be laid on and under the stain treated in this way and through it, iron the contaminated area on the clothes with a hot iron. Under the influence of the hot temperature, the turpentine, together with the dissolved lipstick, will completely transfer to the napkin and the fabric will be cleansed.

For white, black, natural or synthetic ...

The color of the material matters. Therefore, chlorine-containing preparations or hydrogen peroxide are suitable for bleaching light-colored clothes made from natural cotton or linen.

The situation can be corrected by ammonia, which moistens the problem area, and sprinkling with a pinch of salt.

The black canvas will be especially sensitive to the effects of such products, since it is prone to washout of the paint.

In this case, pay attention to dishwashing detergents or gasoline.

Depending on the type of fabric, choose a specific method:

• Laundry soap or special soap - for cotton and silk, respectively;
• Hot water + mild stain remover - for synthetics;
• Lemon juice - for denim denim
• starch - for woolen products.

Final procedures: how to wash the foundation from clothes

Everything described above is only a preparatory stage before the final wash. The thing is that if you wash the thing only in the place of pollution, then most likely you will get a large stain, over the entire area where the fabric is wet. To prevent this from happening, after preliminary preparation, the whole thing must be washed, however, it is advisable to take into account a few simple tips and recommendations from experienced housewives.

• You need to wash things using any bleach, if they are light, and if they are colored, you can pick up some means for multi-colored linen.
• An amplifier must be added to the washing powder; it is sold in household chemical stores.
• Liquid detergents for washing things, and they are for a wide variety of fabrics, cope with any stains many times better than granular ones that are more familiar to us.
• You can also try treating the stain with starch before washing, it is believed that it helps.
• Some people try to remove stains with thinner or refined gasoline. But you should be extremely careful with such substances, and in one wash, most likely, the pungent and unpleasant smell of caustic chemicals will not disappear, and this is not at all good to walk and smell like a tractor driver.

Also, there is one more extremely useful advice: you should not put the quick wash mode on your machine, it is better to let things spin a full cycle in order to achieve the maximum effect and already definitely save your favorite thing from unexpected damage.

Cosmetic stains and general principles of their removal

The basic rule, suitable for removing almost any makeup stain from clothes, is to eliminate them immediately. Dried stains from cosmetics on clothes are an additional headache, since it will be problematic to remove it later.

Fresh makeup stains must be blotted with a napkin

In this case, it does not matter if a paper or cloth napkin will be used for this. The main thing is that it absorbs the removed substance well.

In no case should the stain be rubbed. In this way, it is possible to achieve only the spread of contamination over an even larger area and its "reliable" introduction into the structure of the tissue.

After most of the contaminant has been removed with a napkin, it is best to sprinkle the stain with fine table salt, talcum powder (baby powder) or potato starch. These funds are almost always at hand at home. They have good hygroscopic properties and will allow you to more completely remove cosmetics from clothes.

Dried stains from clothes, especially from wax-based cosmetics, can be scrubbed off with a plastic spatula.

But you need to act with extreme caution, while fearing damage to the fabric itself. This procedure, of course, is best carried out when clothes made of smooth (glossy) fabrics are contaminated with cosmetics.

When cleaning a fleecy cloth in this way, there is a high probability that the fluff will be removed along with the dirt, then a bald spot will remain on its surface.

Before starting work on removing cosmetics stains from clothes, you should determine what type of cosmetics such pollution is applied to. If the stain has formed from the effects of perfumery made on a fat or wax base (lipstick, various kinds of creams, etc.), then to remove them, it is necessary to use preparations that dissolve fats well. Contamination from cosmetics that do not contain fat at all (for example, powder) can often be removed even with clean water.

As practice shows, the main remedy for removing stains from cosmetics is an aqueous solution of ammonia and sodium chloride, which quite actively destroy fats. However, such a common tool may not help in all cases, then you will have to look for other ways and methods to resolve the problem.

When using stain removers or other chemicals, especially when cleaning stains on clothes made from colored and delicate fabrics, you need to check their reaction to the fabric itself from the invisible seamy side. It is preferable to start with low concentrations of cleaning agents to ensure that they are completely safe for the fabric itself. After removing contamination, we sometimes risk getting a hole or a discolored spot in its place.

As a rule, after cleaning a cosmetic stain, to completely remove it from clothing, it should be completely washed (by hand or machine).

Getting rid of old traces of cosmetics

Over time, under the influence of oxygen, the fats and oils contained in the cream are oxidized, which means they settle more densely on the fibers. The quality and result of stain control largely depends on the type of fabric that is damaged. So, synthetics are easier to clean, cotton cloth is a more difficult task, but you will have to tinker with fur at all.

You should know on the basis of which the cream with a toning effect was created, because, depending on the composition, degree of coverage and shade, the residues are removed in different ways. Water-based products lend themselves easily even to ordinary warm water. Oily and dense textures with a certain amount of oils, which have got on clothes, should be pretreated before the main wash.

Pay attention to the color of the tone: the darker the shade, the more pigmented it is, which means it is stable.

We recommend that you familiarize yourself

Soap. To cope with pollution is the power of substances that were originally intended to combat greasy stains. Soap is versatile and can help. If the fabric of the clothes is white, then you need to take soap with a whitening effect. In other cases, it is better to limit yourself to a universal option so as not to spoil the color.

It is necessary to wet the whole thing, then rub the damaged area from the outside and inside with soap until a persistent foam forms and leave for 5-10 minutes. After the time has elapsed, place the clothes in a basin with warm soapy water for 3 hours.During this time, the pigmenting particles of the cream will be removed under the influence of soapy water, and you can continue washing in the usual way.

Dishwashing liquid. A particularly durable make-up product is unlikely to resist dishwashing detergent, because its main task is to break down fat. But in no case use this option if the clothes are light shades, and the detergent is colored.

It is enough to dissolve the gel in warm water and soak the affected clothing in it. Stubborn stains will require a stronger concentration, so apply the detergent to the stain, leave it on for 3-4 minutes, and soak it in the same solution. After 1.5-2 hours, the foundation will simply disappear.

Alcohol and soda. If a piece of dense fabric with strong fibers is damaged, then more drastic measures will be required, which work great with fine textures. It is necessary to perform the following manipulations:

1. 1Apply ethyl alcohol, ammonia or vodka to two cotton pads and apply them to the dirty area from the inside and outside, leave for 10 minutes.
2. 2 After removing the sponges, cover the stain with baking soda and rub gently but thoroughly. The traces of the foundation will literally disappear before our eyes, and the favorite clothes will be saved.

Starch. It is potato or corn starch that is a natural absorbent and will help to cope with greasy and oily stains. To do this, sprinkle starch on the dirty area, then start rubbing with a brush. After about 5 minutes, you can shake the rest of the product and observe the clean surface of the clothing. This method works especially well on woolen garments.

Petrol. Refined gasoline also helps remove stubborn make-up stains. Before using this cleaning option, try it on an inconspicuous area to make sure you don't ruin the color of your clothes.

Two cotton pads are moistened with gasoline and applied from both sides to the spot, as if pinching it. Leave them in this position for no more than 10 minutes, then remove. Next, you need to wash clothes in an automatic machine on the appropriate mode and enjoy cleanliness.

Home remedies

At home, you can use the tools at hand to remove stains from cosmetics. For fresh dirt you can use:

• drinking alcohol or vodka, which dissolves fat well;
• ammonia;
• glycerol;
• gasoline mixed with starch;
• baking soda.

You can use glycerin to remove stains

For the result to be tangible, you should moisten two cotton pads with any of the named liquid and apply them to the cloth with contamination from the back and outside for a few minutes. You need to wait until the liquid dissolves the foundation and stains the cotton pads.

Then the cotton wool is removed and the pollution is covered with soda. Rub the soda with your fingers on the fabric so that it removes the remaining particles of the cream.

The wet mass is applied to the pollution, with a dense mass and wait until it dries up and crumbles. This will make the fabric clean.

Soda is used to remove stains

The stain can be covered with clean dry starch, which acts as an adsorbent. Its particles will suck in the stain, and the surface of the garment will be cleaned. Any product that will be used to remove the stain should be checked on the back of the fabric for fiber compatibility.
