How to Remove Eye Liner and Mascara Stains

Step 1: Make the Dawn-Water by pouring a cup of warm water and 1/4 a teaspoon of Dawn dishwashing detergent in a spray bottle or container. Stir or gently shake to ensure a thorough mixture.

Step 2: Dampen a clean white cloth with the dawn-water solution and blot the stain. The stain will lift and transfer on to the cloth. Continue to blot the stain until the stain is removed.

NorCal Pro Tip: Blot the stain in one direction starting from the edge of the stain working your way to the center.  This will prevent spreading the stain onto other carpet fibers.

Step 3: Spray the damp area with the spray bottle of water to rinse. Blot out the excess moisture with the plain white paper towels.

Step 4: Layer several layers of paper towels on the damp area and place a small heavy object on the towels. Allow it to rest for 2-4 hours.

This will draw out any remaining moisture from the carpet.

Step 5: Once the carpet is dry remove and vacuum the area to restore the carpet’s resiliency.
