Tips on tackling makeup stains

Air dry only: As with most stains, once you’ve washed the garment it’s better to allow it to air dry than machine-drying it. This is because machine-driers will cause excess makeup to set into the fabric – making it much harder to remove stains the second time around.

General advice

  • Please refer to the packaging for specific product usage and advice.
  • KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN AND PETS. Store the product only in the original container and always fasten the lid.
  • Do not expose product to direct sunlight.
  • Before use check if colours may bleed by testing a hidden area of the fabric.
  • For best results it may be necessary to repeat parts of the process.
