Sometimes, we have time to spend an hour or more applying makeup. But most of the time, we are rushing out of the door to work. And when you’re in a hurry, it’s very easy to spill some foundation, eye shadow, or powder on your carpet flooring.
Don’t panic, our trusted cleaning technicians know a few ways to make sure your makeup doesn’t stain.
How To Clean Foundation
What you will need:
- A butter knife or spoon.
- Clear dish washing liquid.
- Cold water.
- Microfiber cloths or paper towels.
- A vacuum cleaner.
- Scrape any excess foundation from the carpet using the butter knife or spoon. You’ll want to do this IMMEDIATELY so the foundation doesn’t cause a deeper stain.
- Mix a few drops of dish soap and cold water. Lightly dampen your cloth or paper towel with the mixture and gently blot the stain (work from the outside in!).
- Keep dabbing the stain until there’s no more foundation in the carpet (no scrubbing or rubbing!).
- Dampen another cloth or paper towel in plain water. Use this to remove any soap still in the carpet.
- Blot the area until it’s dry and vacuum the spot.
How To Remove Eyeliner
What you will need:
- ½ cup of warm water.
- 1 tsp of vinegar.
- Microfiber cloths.
- Mix the water and vinegar.
- Place your cloth into the solution and blot the stain (from the outside, in).
- Lightly dampen a cloth with plain water and remove any vinegar solution left on the stain.
- Pat dry.
TIP: Use the same steps for removing mascara and eye shadow, but instead of warm water, use cold water!
AND
If you have lighter carpets, use hydrogen peroxide instead of a vinegar-based solution — it doesn’t have bleaching properties that will ruin your carpet.
