Quick Answer
To keep your MakeUp Eraser balm performing well, rinse it after each use, wash it every few days with mild detergent, and let it air dry completely before storing. Avoid fabric softener and high heat, which can damage the fibers and reduce effectiveness.
Why Proper Care Matters for Your MakeUp Eraser Balm
MakeUp Eraser balms are reusable cloths designed to remove makeup and gently cleanse your skin without harsh chemicals. With regular care, each cloth can last for hundreds of washes, saving you money and reducing waste. However, improper cleaning—like using fabric softener or tossing them in a hot dryer—can break down the unique fiber structure that makes them so effective. By following a few simple steps, you'll keep your balm soft, absorbent, and ready for daily use.

5 Steps to Clean and Care for Your MakeUp Eraser Balm
- Rinse After Each Use: After removing your makeup, rinse the cloth under warm running water to wash away residual makeup and oil. Gently rub the fabric between your fingers to loosen trapped product. Common mistake: Letting the cloth sit with makeup on it. This can stain the fibers and make deep cleaning harder later.
- Machine Wash Every Few Days: Place used cloths in a mesh laundry bag and wash them with a small amount of mild, fragrance-free detergent on a gentle cycle with warm water. Avoid bleach and fabric softener—both can clog or damage the microfibers. Checkpoint: If you use a cleansing balm or oil, pre-treat any greasy spots with a drop of dish soap before washing.
- Air Dry or Tumble Dry Low: Hang the cloths to air dry, or tumble dry on the lowest heat setting. High heat can shrink or melt the synthetic fibers, reducing the cloth's effectiveness. Common mistake: Using a dryer sheet or dryer ball with the cloths—these add chemicals that coat the fibers and reduce absorbency.
- Store in a Clean, Dry Place: Once fully dry, fold each cloth and store it in a breathable container or drawer away from direct sunlight and moisture. A dedicated makeup bag or a clean basket works well. Checkpoint: Avoid storing damp cloths in a sealed container—this encourages mildew and odors.
- Replace When Worn: Over time, the cloth may lose its softness or develop persistent stains. When you notice reduced makeup removal performance or fraying edges, it's time to replace it with a fresh one. Verdict: With proper care, a single MakeUp Eraser cloth can last for hundreds of washes—so you'll get plenty of use before needing a replacement.
Products That Make Care Easy
- Double Cleanse 7-Day Bundle: The Double Cleanse 7-Day Bundle includes multiple reusable cloths to help you remove makeup and cleanse your face throughout the week. Having a full week's supply means you can rotate cloths, letting each one dry completely between uses—this reduces bacterial buildup and extends the life of every cloth.
- Ballet Core 7-Day Set: The Ballet Core 7-Day Set includes seven cloths for a full week of use and is made with soft, gentle fibers suitable for daily cleansing. The soft fibers are ideal for sensitive skin, and having a dedicated cloth for each day helps you maintain a consistent care routine without rushing to wash a single cloth.
- Winter Village Collection: The Winter Village Collection is part of the Mini PRO line, offering a compact and portable design suitable for heavy makeup removal. Its compact size makes it easy to travel with, but because it's smaller, you may need to rinse it more frequently during use to keep it effective.
