Make-up remover

Although it may seem obvious, we don't usually resort to this solution. It's one of the easiest ways to remove make-up stains when you're out from home. You'll need to dab on the makeup remover - no rubbing, which will only cause the stain to spread. You can find the make-up remover in our Primor shop in La Torre Outlet.

 

Degreasing soap

Another solution to remove make-up stains is to use degreasing soap (dishwashing soap with an anti-grease effect). Pour several drops of this soap on the stain and leave it to act for about 15 minutes. After this time, rub in a circular motion with a cloth, and then absorb the stain with kitchen paper. Then wash the garment as you usually wash it. You can find this product and more for cleaning clothes in our Pepco shop.

 

Baking soda

Finally, to get rid of these stains, we will use our greatest ally, baking soda. You should prepare a mixture of baking soda and water and let the mixture sit on the stain.

After leaving it for several hours, wash your garment as you normally do and... it will be as good as new!
