I’m a dry cleaner & love a £2 Home Bargain buy – it gets rid of EVERY stain instantly including foundation on white tops
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.

Tackling laundry in the winter can be a challenge, but these handy tips can help you stay on top of it:
- Use a Dehumidifier: Place a dehumidifier in your drying area to speed up the drying process and prevent dampness.
- Spin Cycle Boost: Run an extra spin cycle on your washing machine to remove excess water from clothes, reducing drying time.
- Indoor Drying Rack: Invest in a good-quality indoor drying rack and position it near a radiator or in a well-ventilated room.
- Tumble Dryer Balls: Add tumble dryer balls to your dryer to help clothes dry faster and reduce static cling.
- Space-Saving Hangers: Use space-saving hangers or a retractable washing line to maximise indoor drying space.
- Microfibre Towels: Lay microfibre towels over your drying rack to absorb extra moisture from hanging clothes.
- Partially Dry Outside: On dry days, hang clothes outside for a short period before bringing them in to finish drying.
These hacks can help you keep your laundry routine efficient and your clothes fresh, even during the colder months.
If any colour remains from the stain, he recommended treating it with oxygen bleach like hydrogen peroxide.
