Make-up on my couch
Beauty tips for your fabric furniture
For people who wear make-up, it’s not uncommon for traces of it to end up on your clothes, towels or even your fabric sofa. But don’t panic! We’ve got a few tips on how to remove them from your fabric sofa.
What to avoid
To begin with, you should never clean make-up stains with water. This will spread the stain. This will make it even more difficult to get rid of the stain on your sofa.
Fresh make-up
This tip is useful if you spot the make-up stain immediately. This means the make-up is still “fresh” on your fabric and will be easier to clean off. Start by pouring a small amount of oil-free make-up remover onto a clean cloth and gently patting the stained area. Then rinse with clean water and repeat these steps 2 more times.
For older make-up
As the above tip is not suitable for make-up stains that have been present for some time, we recommend the following tips. They can also be used if the first tip doesn’t work.
White vinegar
First of all, this tip is particularly effective on fabric furniture. Start by preparing a mixture of 125ml cold water and 125ml white vinegar. Next, soak the stain in your mixture and leave for around fifteen minutes. When the time is up, scrub vigorously with a toothbrush. Then wash with soapy water and rinse.
Soap and alcohol
A second tip for removing them from fabric sofas is to use 90% alcohol and soap. Start by soaking a clean cloth with 90% alcohol and wetting the stain. Then use a soap cloth and rub the stain vigorously. Rinse with clean water.
