How to remove concealer - a touch from clothes
Clumsy handling of office supplies can result in permanent stains on hands, upholstery and clothing. Knowing how to wash concealer and what products should be used for which stains, you can prevent permanent damage to products and the formation of faded areas. The cleaning process will not cause major problems if the composition of the corrective product is correctly assessed.
The fresh streak is easy to remove while it is fresh. You just need to wipe the problem area with damp alcohol wipes and put the item of clothing in the wash as soon as possible. Dried concealer is not so easy to remove. It forms a dense film on the fabric, which must be exposed to chemical reagents.
Features of the approach to corrective agents based on water, alcohol and emulsion
Before you wash the putty, you need to carefully read its composition. It is the component that is the base of the product that will tell you which reagent will be most useful in a particular case:
- A water touch will not cause any problems. Before washing, soiled items of clothing are simply soaked in cold water for a while. When dealing with a streak in the form of a ribbon, you need to additionally add a little washing powder or detergent to the water.
Advice
Rubbing a water-based streak is strictly prohibited; it will only be absorbed deeper and will be difficult to remove using the traditional method.Stains are removed completely only if the item goes through the soaking stage.
- To remove traces of alcohol- or emulsion-based corrector, you will have to knock out the wedge with a wedge. In this case, pure alcohol, vodka or alcohol tonic will come in handy. We moisten a cotton pad in the selected product, blot the stain until it is well saturated and begin to remove with soft superficial movements. If necessary, the approach can be repeated, but you need to proceed carefully. With colored clothing, such manipulations can wash out the brightness of the color and even lead to slight destruction of the fibers. Items made from delicate fabrics that have been touched by touches are best left to professionals.
If the stain is very old, large or deep, you can first try to scrub it off with a dull knife. Traditional washing will help completely remove any remaining dirt.
Solvent based caulk removers
The most complex type of pollution, for which the use of water at the initial stage is strictly prohibited. You can remove white spots using acetone, nail polish remover and other similar solvents.
We must first test the chosen product on a hidden area of the fabric to avoid unexpected unpleasant consequences.
- First, scrub the stroke as much as possible with a soft brush. This technique is used only if the composition has already dried and cannot spread over a large area.
- Next, turn the product inside out. You can only use the solvent on the back side of the fabric; this will reduce the aggressive effect of the chemical to a minimum.
- We place an unnecessary piece of soft fabric under the back of the stain.
- We moisten a cotton pad in the selected solvent and begin to treat the stain with successive methodical movements. We work in one direction, otherwise the composition will simply be smeared in different directions.
- If it was not possible to completely remove the corrector, we wash the item manually. We use warm water and a little washing powder. After obtaining the desired result, we run the product once in the washing machine.
Professional stain removers give good results. They also need to be selected based on the origin of the corrector and the quality of the affected material.
The listed methods are categorically not suitable for processing silk, wool, velvet and other fleecy fabrics. If such surfaces are contaminated, you should contact a dry cleaner as soon as possible and before that you should not try to remove the formations on your own. This may only set the stain.
