How can i get mascara out of a cream carpet????

Would be really grateful if anyone could advise how I can lift mascara out of a cream pile carpet, there are about 3 blobs of it on teenage daughters carpet and thought I would ask before starting to try and get it off with water and stardrops!!

  • I suspect there will be a carpet industry advisory board who would give phone advice if you did a google for them, or ask the mascara manufacturers

    I don't know of a solution but I would have thought that a gentle make up remover would be a possibility - would need to test first in a very small area that doesn't show, and perhaps use a clean mascara brush to tease it through the pile
    You never know how far-reaching something good, that you may do or say today, may affect the lives of others tomorrow

    Have you tried eye make up remover on a cotton bud? It worked for me. I would try it out on a hidden bit of carpet first though just to make sure it doesn't stain!
