How do you get black mascara stains out of pillow slips/cases?

My cases are baby pink and yellow so it's really obvious.

It may be too late now since you've washed and dried the sheets so many times. The stains are probably set in. For any new stains, however, try OxyClean pre-wash stain remover or some make up remover sheets that you can buy in the face care section of the store. Rub the make up sheet on the stain and it should take it right out. Those sheets are designed to remove eye make up, no matter how stubborn. If you don't have those sheet, try baby wipes -- they take out everything!How do you get black mascara stains out of pillow slips/cases?
For god sakes, clean out your makeup before you lie down.. Report Abuse

Pretreat the fabric with laundry detergent and cold water. Scrub from BEHIND the stain (turn the case inside out). You could possibly use a stain remover for clothing if you have that available.





Let the case soak and then wash it on a longer wash cycle.





Good luck!





I have mascara stains from making my girlfriend cry (I know, I'm a piece of ****) so I know what it's like!
If you can find a really good make-up remover. Normally the ones that say for eye make-up on the container, will work out most of the color. You probably want to use q-tips to apply and rub the make-up remover into the fabric. Then let the pillows sit for A minute. Wash as usual.





This normally works for me.
Hair spray works great on ink - even after something's been through the dryer. I'm not sure if it'll work on mascara.





Test a small area - if the mascara starts to spread then it's working


(it's adhering to the hairspray and lifting out of the fabric)
Were you crying?


If not you should change your brand of mascara.


I don't know about Australia, but in Canada we have this product called red wine out, works pretty well, take a look for it.
Try a pre-wash like ';Shout'; or ';Spray in Wash';. Spray it and rub it in..let sit..then wash with your laundry. The sooner you do it, the better so it doesn't absorb in the material.
