For anyone who can't keep microfiber cloths aka makeup erasers clean, I figured it out

Taking my makeup off with microfiber would make them go all crusty and rough and you could see the makeup still on them. Washing them normally made worse so I looked up what got the makeup off and Google said warm water and vinegar. That didn’t do anything to I tried it with dish soap because dish soap gets all oils off things and it worked magically with the vinegar in a bowl. Everything came right off after rubbing it together for a bit.

Not sure if this is stupid and widely known I’m just kinda proud of problem-solving it :nail_care:

Another tip is to use micellar water to clean your brushes. I put an inch or so in a lid or ramekin, swirl my brushes around then dry off with a paper towel. It’s amazing how much quicker and easier it is.

I wonder if bacteria can still grow this way tho? I don’t clean my brushes just because of makeup, it’s mainly because I want them sanitized.

You can use micellar to get the makeup off and then give them a quick normal wash with soap and water. The micellar just cuts down on the soap, swirl, rinse, repeat cycle.

great tip, babe, dish soap + vinegar does wonders for cleaning makeup off microfiber cloths

After the dish soap/vinegar, do you wash them in the washing machine? Thanks for the info!!
