Many Americans report that it’s their favorite holiday. Let’s consider the facts: bucket loads of candy, terrifying haunted houses, dressing up in all sorts of cool and crazy costumes, painting faces and bodies as creatively as possible, and a weekend-long license to trick and scare your favorite frenemies. Oh, and don’t let us forget how cute those little ones who can barely walk - look toddling along the lane in their costumes. Yep, it’s pretty clear why Halloween is enduringly popular.
Costumes beware!
Whether you still strive to concoct the most creative costume in town, or you’ve now resigned yourself to doling out bite size candies to the endless parade of gremlins and ghosts at the doorbell, Halloween is a big deal. And whether you’re a Halloween Mommy or Hot Mama, the focuses are roughly the same. After whipping up the best costumes, you’re focused on trying to keep the consumption of sweet candies and beverages to a safe level, and next, trying to keep all that face & body paint, artificial blood, chocolate, punch, and everything else from ruining Halloween clothes and costumes.
Borrowed or rented? Oh no!
For those wearing a rented or borrowed costume, a stain can become a serious problem. Depending upon the severity of the stain, a rented costume could wind up costing a lot more than you bargained for when it’s time to return the costume. Staining a borrowed costume could end up being quite costly as well - to your relationship.
Mystery fabric
The biggest problem with incurring a stain on a Halloween costume is that they tend to be made of seldom come with the fabric care label. Without knowledge of the fabric content, any diy stain removal you attempt may have the disastrous result of either permanently setting the stain, or worse yet - damaging the fabric.
Leave it to the pros
That’s why, as much as we want to help, the most helpful advice we have to offer regarding self-treatment of stains on costumes is, “just don’t do it!” Working to absorb a liquid stain before it has fully set in through gentle blotting without pressure can make later stain removal easier. Beyond that, when dealing with a valuable costume of undetermined fabric content, it’s truly best to leave it to the pros.
