Things You'll Need:
- Prewash Stain Remover (Purchase at any local store)
- White Towel
-
Step 1
The household trick for removing oil-based make-up is to use a "pre-wash stain remover" and spray it directly onto the stain. Do not rub the stain! Let the solution soak into the carpet, as most chemicals take some time (Lipstick and Mascara will need more time).
-
Step 2
After the solution has had time to soak, rinse the stain with warm water and dab the stain (remember do not rub). The stain should be faded or completely gone.
-
Step 3
If the stain is not gone, repeat the process. Another option is to use a stronger household detergent. Typically, the more expensive detergents will be best to use in this case. These detergents typically have more punch to remove those tougher stains. If the detergent process does not remove the stain then you can try rubbing alcohol. Use the same process as above and remember not to rub the stain! Let it soak and then rinse with warm water and dab. The longer you leave the stain untreated, the harder it will be to remove.
