how to get make-up off a white mattress?

[BeingBooyhoo]

ds2 went all abstract on my mattress with concealer, blusher, mascara, foundation, the lot. i haven't tacklet it yet as didn't want to make it worse. what should i use/try?

Oh dear!! It's always best to clean something immediately though before it dries on! Dab the mascara and lipstick with a clean soft cloth (inwards) with drops of eucalyptus essential oil on it.

My book says use borax on the makeup; foundation etc. i've not used it though and it's not easy to obtain and you have be careful with it. You could try white vinegar on it.

If any of it is oily you can put talcum powder on it and then brush it off. Good luck

thanks ppeatfruit. i'll try the eucalpytus and vinegar.

oh and the talc.

As yr mattress is white there's no guarantee that you won't left with stains though ! Luckily you can put a mattress topper on it or whatever and no one need ever know! That'll learn yer to leave make up where yr L.O's could get it! lucky he didn't try to eat it!
