  • Lady's make-up problem.

    When I lifted my foundation bottle out of my make-up bag I didn't notice the top had come loose, so the tube came out and flicked some foundation onto my new white blouse! I put it into a bowl of soapy water - nope. Put some Vanish on it then put it in the washer - nope. Put some dry-cleaning type fluid on it. Helped a bit but one spot is still there. Any suggestions?
    I work very hard so please don't expect me to think as well!

      I usually make a paste with the vanish,tiny bit of water mixed with the powder,then put it on the stain,both sides,leave it to do it’s magic for half hour,check it rub it in more,gets out any stain.

          Call in your local chemist they usually sell stain removers.

            Well just thinking out loud, but it's got oil in it so I'd think something with grease shifting properties might be worth a try. How about water to dampen then massage in fairy liquid or similar? Swarfega is good at shifting oil?

              Petrol?

              I've used lighter fluid to dissolve greasy stains before.

                Toothpaste is good for shifting stains.

                And when your back stops aching,
                And your hands begin to harden.
                You will find yourself a partner,
                In the glory of the garden.

                  Probably worth repeating everything that helped get most of it out, to see if it would shift the last bit.
                  If not, is it in a position you could wear a brooch? Or add some kind of decoration (embroidery, work ID badge, add a contrasting collar/bow/scarf to hide it)?

                        Petrol - and a match. Not only will it get rid of the stain but it will stain proof the top as after this there is no way it will ever get stained again.

                          Fairy liquid.

                          Hang it in the sun? Remarkably helpful at stain removal sometimes...
