Bleach-Safe White Fabrics
Scrape
Scrape away excess makeup.
Presoak
For larger stains or stains that cover an entire piece of clothing or fabric, soak the makeup-stained areas in 1 quart of water mixed with 1 cap-full of Clorox 2® for Colors Stain Remover and Laundry Additive for up to 60 minutes. Stains will begin to disappear for both new and set-in stains.
Wash
For colored clothing and fabrics with spandex, set your washer to the hottest recommended water setting and add both detergent and Clorox 2® for Colors Stain Remover and Laundry Additive into the laundry basin or detergent dispensing tray.
Clorox 2® for Colors Stain Remover and Laundry Additive helps remove stains and odors through the wash while making both colored and white clothing brighter and cleaner. Always be sure to follow the instructions on your garment’s care label.
Check
After the wash, check to make sure the stain is gone before drying. If the stain is still present, repeat the process.
Try working a little dish soap or detergent from the outside in to loosen the oils before washing.
