Quick Answer

Refresh your MakeUp Eraser 7-Day Set Classics by machine washing the cloths weekly with mild detergent and no fabric softener, then air drying or tumble drying on low heat. This routine removes makeup residue, prevents odors, and extends the life of the towels.

Why Regular Refreshing Matters

Over time, reusable makeup towels can trap oils, dead skin, and leftover makeup, leading to dull performance or musty smells. The MakeUp Eraser 7-Day Set Classics includes seven cloths designed for daily use, so each towel needs proper care to stay soft and effective. A simple weekly refresh keeps them hygienic and ready for the next cycle.

What Not to Use

Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and dryer sheets. These products coat the microfibers, reducing the cloth's ability to grip and remove makeup. Stick to a mild, fragrance-free detergent for best results.

Step-by-Step Refresh Routine

  1. Step 1: Rinse After Each Use: After removing your makeup, rinse the cloth under warm running water to wash away surface makeup and oils. Squeeze out excess water and hang it to dry. Don't let wet towels sit in a pile; this encourages mildew.
  2. Step 2: Machine Wash Weekly: Collect all seven cloths at the end of the week. Place them in a mesh laundry bag (optional but recommended) and wash on a gentle cycle with warm water. Use a small amount of mild detergent. Overloading the washer can trap residue in the fibers.
  3. Step 3: Skip Fabric Softener: Do not add fabric softener or bleach. Softener coats the microfibers and reduces makeup-removing effectiveness. If you use dryer sheets, skip them for this load. If towels feel less grippy, rewash without softener to restore performance.
  4. Step 4: Air Dry or Low Heat: Hang the cloths to air dry, or tumble dry on low heat. High heat can damage the microfiber fabric over time. Remove promptly to prevent wrinkles. Check that towels are fully dry before storing to avoid musty smells.
  5. Step 5: Deep Clean Every Month: Once a month, soak the set in a mixture of warm water and a tablespoon of baking soda for 30 minutes before washing. This helps lift stubborn residue and neutralizes odors. Do not use vinegar; it can break down microfiber fibers.
