How To Clean Our Reusable Cotton Makeup Remover Pads

Best Makeup Remover Wipes Cleaning Process:

  • Try to wash as soon as possible after removing makeup. 
  • We found Sunlight Soap Bars to work the best, they are available at most supermarkets and cost around $4 for a pack of 4 and you will find so many more uses for them around the house!
  • I actually found washing the side without makeup (if there is one) worked better, as it pushed the makeup out of the cotton and not into it further.
  • Wash cotton rounds with soap bar under warm water and rinse a few times.
  • Leave a wet with little soap on them until you are ready to put them through the washing machine. 
  • Best to not let dry in between rinsing and washing. 

 

 

Lot's of you have been asking how to clean our Reusable Cotton Makeup Remover Pads.... but the truth was I didn't know! 

So I have been on a  super busy on a mission to try and figure it out for you all!

After sooooo many hilarious experiments using everything we could possibly imagine, we discovered that with most things being oil based dish washing products worked best! 

Whilst I can't guarantee yours will come up the same, we tested these in full 80's style and came up with our top picks.  We are pretty happy when the best two options (seen in test 2 and 3) were actually soap bars meaning ZERO PLASTIC REQUIRED!!  Boom!

We did clean almost straight away, I'd say within 15 - 20 minutes of decorating them, so might be best to keep a soap bar in the bathroom.  These ones haven't gone through the washing machine, but it is best not to let them dry between rinsing with soap bar and putting through the washing machine.
