How To Remove Stains From Your Wedding Dress
The wedding day is one of the most special days in every couple’s life. You have spent so much time and money to find the perfect dress. However, there is always a chance to spill red wine on it, drop some food, or leave some makeup stains. Usually one of these can make you go insane, but here we offer you some cleaning tips and tricks that will make your life easier.
Removing stains from your wedding dress depends on the material that it’s made of. You should always be careful with the cleaners you are going to use as some of them can damage your dress.
Let’s start with removing makeup stains from your wedding dress. When applying mascara, foundation or lipstick you can easily drop some of them on your gown. Usually this can cause a lot of stress but here is a simple solution to this problem. Use a lemon dish detergent as it works as a degreaser and breaks down the oil in makeup stains. Makeup stains are oily based stains so you can’t remove them by using water only. Before using the detergent, dampen the stain with water and then put a drop of the detergent on it. Rub this area gently. Then use a towel to pat it repeatedly. Soon the stain should be out.
Cleaning wine stains is not an easy task. If you have to deal with a red wine stain, use a towel in order to absorb it. You should get most of the wine off immediately. Then pat gently with a moist white cloth. An easy way to clean it is to mix white vinegar and water and apply it to the stain with cotton balls or a towel. White vinegar neutralizes red and purple pigments.
