Makeup

Looks great on your face — not so great on your favorite blouse. Follow these tips to remove makeup stains.

Removing makeup stains from whites

  • On the go

    • First, scrape away excess makeup. Some folks recommend working a little dish soap or laundry detergent from the outside in to loosen the oils and prevent stain from setting.
  • At home

    • Pretreat with liquid laundry detergent or dish soap, then wash on the hottest recommended water setting along with your favorite laundry detergent and Clorox® Regular-Bleach for whites. Repeat as necessary. Carefully inspect the garment for residual stains before machine drying.
