Last week I was getting ready for work when the worst imaginable thing happened: my blush z palette fell on my white carpet...opened.
When it hit the floor, one of my hot pink powder blushes seemed to take all of the impact and shattered, causing every ounce of that blush to come out of it's container and scatter across my white carpet. Naturally, a mini heart attack occured at that moment, but I was able to clean it up within 5 minutes without a single trace of that hot pink left anywhere on the carpet.
If this happens to you (hopefully it never does), then just follow these easy steps and you'll be good to go for any powder product:
What you will need:
Bowl/bucket
Laundry Detergent
Wash cloth
Paper Towel
Vacuum
Water
Step 1: DO NOT PANIC! It will be okay, your carpet is not ruined.
Step 2: If there are any children or animals within close range and are active, immediately remove them from the area so they don't walk/play in the area and drive the stain deeper into the carpet.
Step 3: Get your vaccuum and use the tube to suck up as much loose debris as possible.
Step 4: If there is any actual stain left on the carpet, get a bowl/bucket with 1 cup warm water and add 5-6 drops of laundry detergent and mix until frothy.
Step 5: Saturate the stained area with mixture and let sit for a minute before taking wash cloth or paper towel and blotting in an upwards motion. Continue to do this until stain is removed/no more comes up.
Step 6: If there is any stain left, take hydrogen peroxide, soak a clean portion of the cloth and let it sit on the stain for an hour +. If there is no more of the stain left, take a piece of the paper towel or dry part of the wash cloth and and blot firmly to remove any excess moisture.
