Identify the stained material. Non-washable garments made of wool, rayon and poly-blends and some silks require dry-cleaning solvents to remove makeup stains. While washable garments such as nylon, polyester, cotton, spandex and linen use a pre-wash stain remover to dissolve foundation stains.
Brush the garment to loosen the foundation and makeup stain. Using a small bristle brush, gently sweep the dried foundation off the fabric. Brush in a circular motion to loosen the makeup; but take extra care not to make the stain larger.
Apply a stain remover to the fabric. Depending upon the fabric, treat the stain with a pre-wash removal product or dry cleaning solvent. Using a white cloth and the cleaning solvent, press the solution gently into the fabric. Avoid damaging the garment, by following the directions provided by the manufacturer of the stain remover.
Allow the cloth to remain on top of the fabric for 10 minutes to transfer the cleaning solution to the stained garment completely.
