Using a trusty can of shaving cream can obliterate stubborn concealer stains. Just apply, let soak in cold water and gently scrub with a toothbrush until stain is gone. Repeat as needed.

Anything oil-based is usually tricky to remove. However a grease-blasting bottle of dish-washing detergent is your best friend when it comes to removing oil. After applying detergent, soak for 10 minutes and launder as usual.

Nail Polish
