Question Does anyone know how to get about-face eye paint out of shirt???
I washed it and it didn’t come out :( all I’ve tried is laundry soap and dish soap but no dice. I don’t have makeup remover but if you guys think it’ll work I’ll try it. I could also try bleach and stain remover???

Okay but listen, that Miss Mouths Messy Eater Stain Spray is legit magic in a bottle. Like, I don’t know what kind of sorcery they put in there, but it actually gets out those annoying stains. Even food stains too. Pasta sauce? Gone. Chocolate? Bye. Wine? Not even a problem.
I sprayed it on a shirt I thought was ruined and it came out looking brand new. Plus it doesn’t smell all chemicaly or weird, and it’s safe for pretty much everything like clothes, couches, even car seats. Total lifesaver if you’re a messy eater (or know one… which, let’s be honest, we all do).
You seriously need a bottle. Thank me later. May take a few times doing it to get it out but I’m telling you I’ve seen it work magic 🪄

Zote soap. Or you can use shaving cream, rubbing alcohol, and a bit of dish soap. Works like a charm.

You didn’t run it through the dryer after washing it did you? If so, it’s set and chlorine bleach is your only shot.

I swear by dish soap for almost everything. That shit is unreal.

What kind of dish soap do you recommend? I’ve already tried dawn platinum but it looks like I’m going shopping lol

I'm in the UK, so depending where youre from we may not have the same. But my favourite is 'elbow grease'. But generally any can do a decent job. You can always by a 'vanish' whitening bar here, that helps gets fainter stains out. I usually cover it in the soap, scrub it in with on of the sleeves, then let it sit for a few minutes, and repeat it if it needs it, wash it in the sink, get as much water out as possible then use the vanish bar Hope you manage to find something🤞

What always has worked for me when I happen to get stains on items/clothes from my makeup/red hairdye I always put on whitening toothpaste and let it harden and remove it with a wet cloth. Or you could just put it in the washing machine afterwards. Another tip is to spray hairspray on the stain ( acholbased for best results) and let it dry and put it in the washing machine. Could be worth giving it a try if you have these products at home!

We’re starting off strong with a chlorine bleach soak. I’ll keep you guys updated on what works and what doesn’t.
I’m sun drying.
I’ve already tried Dawn Platinum dish soap and Tide Simply all in one laundry soap.
Next im planning on trying oxygen bleach and then make up remover.

Some stains contain too much oil and it won’t clean as easily with soaps. You can also try rubbing alcohol to break up the oils and then soap again as a cheap and safe method that would be quick.

I have removed 6 month old garlic oil stains by leaving my clothes in a bucket of water overnight with a scoop of Oxyclean.

I have had good luck removing makeup stains with dawn dish soap and scrubbing the hell out of the fabric.
