Unlike the first method with water based putty, in this situation, no need to hurry. The stain from the emulsion or alcohol concealer should be completely dry. After drying, the putty can be wiped off with a mechanical method. But to completely cope with the stain in this way will not work.

Alcohol-based putty residues should be scrubbed with a cotton sponge that is moistened with alcohol, vodka, or cologne.

This method not applicable to all materials. It should not be used for woolen, silk and velvet products. Such things are best to be dry cleaned. For other materials, it is necessary to pre-test the means of the invisible area of ​​the product.

After half an hour with a clean cotton pad, remove the rest of the substance. It is important not to press the cotton disc on the stain: this way you will only rub the putty into the fabric more deeply. If the stain is not removed the first time, the procedure can be repeated.

In cases where the thing is stained with a solid tape-corrector, you will cope with pollution without much effort.
