How to get camouflage cream off my armchair?

[struwellpeter]

It was a bit of a good party...not for us, but the 7 year olds loved it! All fine and safely outside until the very end when we were enjoying a glass with the parents and own ds snuggled up to my pink armchair.
Wondered if you ladies had any tips? It was the real stuff not face paint and I'm a bit reluctant to smother it with make-up remover which seems to work on faces.

Many thanks.

well my dh removes it off his face with baby wipes or make up remover so not sure if thats any help

Thanks, sunny and sal. May try babywipes before hitting it with grease removing gunk.

oh dear! did it come out yet?

Had a go with baby wipes but no instant improvement so got cross and blasted the arm with white vinegar then rubbed (gently at first) with an e-cloth which turned satisfyingly black/green. Now it is dry it is better but still not gone. The problem is that it's all in the weave... However, may have another go with a clean e-cloth tomorrow.

Fortunately this chair was not in its first youth and the cat has already done its worst. Since the rest of the furniture was re-covered recently it's the only one I'll let the children sit on - which is a bit difficult when all four want to sit down!

Why not try an actual specialist make-up remover. Camo creme is easily removable with an old fashioned theatrical make-up remover like crowes cremoire. You would then obviously have to treat the area to remove the remover - but it might be a good start.

Or try rubbing alcohol, its an activator in many make-up products and should certainly get some of it at least out.
