A PROFESSIONAL dry cleaner demonstrated the DIY techniques you can use to save your clothes from stubborn stains.
The laundry expert revealed the budget beauty buy that instantly removes foundation from most materials, including white tops.
In his viral video, TikTok user Zachary Pozniak (@jeeves_ny) shared the quick trick with his followers.
The TikToker, who describes himself as “New York’s finest dry cleaner,” said he swears by a simple process.
To demonstrate, he applied a pump of foundation onto a square of white fabric.
He then placed the fabric onto top of an old towel, which he described as an essential step.
Next, he covered the stained area with his secret weapon, micellar water.
You can pick up a bottle of Nuagé Micellar Water for just £2.49 from Home Bargains.
Zachary then worked the solution into the stain with a plastic utensil, rubbing it until it began to fade.
“Work the stain so it transfers onto the towel,” the dry cleaning expert said.
“Repeat this process until it’s mostly out.”
He lifted the material to show his followers the foundation stain now on the towel.
Zachary recommended using the same technique to clean mascara stains.
He also demonstrated the best process to use if you notice lipstick stains on your white clothing.
Instead of using micellar water, he substituted in liquid laundry detergent.
He then worked that in to the stained area, blotting to remove any excess product.
Next, he placed the item on a regular wash cycle and examined the results.

“I was just reading about using micellar water in your new book! Genius!” said another follower.
“I literally got makeup (foundation) on my black blouse today, and was thinking about messaging you for advice,” commented a third person.
