Dawn dishwashing liquid will wash makeup right out of a polyester blouse and it won’t damage the fabric. Just wet the stain, gently work a little Dawn into the fabric, then rinse the spot out.

Don’t mess around with homemade stain remedies when there are a dozen different kinds of pre-treatment stain remover products in the laundry aisle at the store - and most of them are safe for polyester and blends. Be careful not to use a stain remover that contains bleach on colored clothes.

If you have a home dry cleaning kit, the kind that works in your dryer, you can use some of the dry cleaning spot solution that came with the kit to get out an oily stain without damaging the fabric. Read the kit’s directions before you use it, but normally you just have to thoroughly work the solution into the stain and then blot it off with an absorbent pad from the kit.

If you have oily skin or hair that leaves stains on your shirt collars, you can wash the oil stains out with a little of your regular hair shampoo. Just work the shampoo into the stain and then wash it out. If the stains are really bad, you may have to shampoo the collar more than once.

I used this to get a splatter of oil based paint out of my favorite polyester jacket. Pour the alcohol on the paint and then start picking as much paint as you can off of the fabric. It may take a while, but you’ll eventually get all the paint off.
