How To Remove Makeup From Carpet

But don’t worry—makeup stains don’t have to be a permanent nightmare. With the right and most effective carpet cleaning approach and a dependable stain solver, such as Vanish, you can tackle makeup stains on the carpet with ease. 

After you finish reading this article, you’ll know how to remove makeup from carpets, ensuring they remain spotless and pristine. So, dive in and conquer those pesky stains with confidence!

• To guarantee optimal results, treat the makeup stains as soon as possible. Because the longer the stains remain on the carpet, the more difficult it will be to remove them. 

• Avoid aggressively rubbing or scouring the stain spot, as this may cause the makeup to set deeper into the carpet fibers. Instead, gently dab the makeup spot with fresh, clean, and transparent microfiber cloths or paper towels to remove excessive makeup. 

• To prevent the makeup stain from spreading further into the carpet, work from the perimeter of the stain into the center.

• Vacuum to fluff up the fibers after you remove a makeup stain. Be sure to wait until your carpet is dry.

Before treating the stain, scrape off as much grease residue as possible with a spoon, kitchen knife, or the edge of a credit card. 

Avoid aggressively rubbing the stain as it can force it to set into the carpet’s fiber. After removing the excess grease, follow the instructions below: 

INSTRUCTIONS
