Make up removal from carpet

7 years ago

My daughter has destroyed her carpet with makeup stains. I'll try the normal Bissell cleaner but before I do, any ideas on makeup from carpet removal. I'm not sure what kind of makeup it is.

I've used a rubbing alcohol (2/3) and water (1/3) solution for spots on wool and nylon rugs and on clothing and handbags. Spray on and let it sit for a minute then rub a little and blot with white cloth or paper towel. As with any cleaner, you should probably test it on an inconspicuous spot first.

I hope it works for you. The mixture has become my new favorite cleaner on many surfaces, but don't use it on painted or varnished surfaces!

Club soda is a good spot remover too.

I've been using Maybelline eye makeup remover. It's a little oily, but I wash my face afterwards and it does a good job getting the mascara off. I really like Mary Kay extremely gentle eye makeup remover a LOT better- not oily at all- but I lost my MK rep and need a new one, hence the Maybelline.

Thank you for all your suggestions. "Fortunately" the spill was in our basement with concrete floor under the carpet, so no worrying about wet wood... I ended up with my shop vac and a bucket of water, dropping about a quarter cup of water at a time and vacuuming it up immediately. It took some time, but eventually the carpet didn't feel or smell soapy anymore. Glad it's over! The shop vac is extremely loud when you are sitting next to it for a couple of hours!

Not flagging as spam... just though I'd say the subject of the thread is slightly alarming. :-) I wondered what sort of "test" you might have conducted.

I pulled up all the carpet on the stairs but not in the hallway yet..that will probably happen this weekend as the railing is going to be replaced on Saturday. one of the steps to see if that would help and it seems ok. I found the holes from the tac strips aren't bad because they're tucked away at the sides/ends. ANd they didn't seem to leave the rough edges that the staples did. There wsn't any glue under our tac strips. DO you have pics?
