How to remove liquid makeup?

Answer: Some types of cosmetics are full of color and/or may be permanent. Although many types of make-up can be thoroughly removed from your carpet with the right tools.

Thin out the stain
After carefully scraping up any globs of make-up, you’ll want to deep clean the spot to strip the make-up from your carpet’s fibers. You can do this with an upright or portable deep cleaner and a BISSELL 2X Deep Cleaning formula, like our 2X Fiber Cleansing formula (for uprights) or 2X Little Green formula (for portables).

Remove the Stain
Next you’ll want to remove the discoloration from your carpet using an oxygen-based cleaner, like BISSELL OxyPro®. Test an inconspicuous area of your carpet with the product to test for colorfastness first. Spray OxyPro® on the stain and allow the product to work for about an hour, allow to dry and vacuum.

Oil-based make-up
If the make-up is oil-based, a general-purpose cleaner like BISSELL Tough Stain Precleaner™ will work best on the stain.
