Removing Base Makeup From a Carpet

Blot the stain with a clean cloth to pick up as much of the base makeup as possible. Work from the edges of the stain toward the center. Continue until you can no longer pick up any makeup.

Mix ¼ teaspoon of liquid dish soap with 1 cup of water. Mix until soap bubbles form.

Blot the solution directly on the stain. Work from the edges and blot rather than rub so you don’t spread the stain or work it further into the carpeting.

Dab the dry cleaning solvent directly onto the stain to remove the rest of it. Work until the stain is completely gone.

Mist the area with water from a spray bottle.

Press a cloth over the damp area to soak up water residue. Continue misting and dabbing until the cleaning solution residue is gone and the carpet is only damp.
