How can I remove a makeup stain from a silk/Nylon blended shirt collar?

Dawn dish soap first for any stain before washing! It has taken out everything so far. I had a white shirt with a stain that I didn't catch until it had gone through the dryer! I used Sun which is exactly only better than OxyClean and 1/3 of the price. I used it in with the whites and everything comes out bright, and that stain did too! Clorox makes things yellow and breaks down fabric.

I washed a load of clothes that had cover-up makeup. I didn't catch it before the dryer and now I have dried in tan streaks. Any help?

RE: Cover-up Makeup Stains on Clothing

Go to the store and buy a stain remover called: ZOUT, it will get the make up out of your clothes.I sometimes use this and OXYCLEAN granuales together.Hope this helps :) (08/02/2006)

My ex bought real makeup for our 5 1/2 yr old dd, and let her put it on at his house, unsupervised, and she got makeup all over the front of a white shirt. Is there a way to get the stains out of her shirt and make it white again? I have not washed it yet, if that helps any. Thank you for your suggestions.

I'd use an old toothbrush, starting with Almay eye-makeup remover, THEN using Ultra Dawn undiluted,

THEN rinse and if any remains, use Alcohol, THEN use Cream Perioxide for 4-24 hours(do not get on skin), keeping stained areas wet in plastic bag, if needed. Rinse again and use Ultra Dawn one more time along with WHITE CHALK rubbed all over the stained area FIRST before this particular wash. Wash/rinse. It should be lifted at any of these stages. Last wash/rinse is imperative because any stain removing can create holes in cloth if left unwashed/rinsed well. Good luck and God bless you. (09/03/2006)

How do you remove make up stains from the collar of a white blouse without taking it to the dry cleaners?
