How do I remove makeup from a shirt collar without leaving a halo?
Our answer
Blot cosmetic residue with makeup remover safe for the fabric, pre-treat with detergent, wash and air-dry; repeat before any heat drying.
Why this approach makes sense
The correct treatment depends on fibre, dye and care label. Heat or abrasive treatment can make some damage permanent.
Before you try it
Test a small area first and avoid repeating treatment if the fabric changes colour or texture.
