Do you ever wonder how Beauty and the Beast keeps their costumes clean?
It's no secret! We do a lot of laundry. The first big tip is the fact
that we sell only
Mehron brand
theatrical make up products. Let's face it, if your school is going to
put on a musical production, you're going to need quality make up at
reasonable price. As a rental agent, I'm going to need a way to get
that make up off my costumes. Even when makeup is properly applied and set some of the color is going to transfer onto
collars and cuffs before the end of the run. That's why we use Greased Lightning to spot clean
stains before we launder.
The vest above was used for a production of Shrek the Musical. He came
back looking a little green around the gills. Actually, for six
performances, I think it came back looking pretty good. After a little
squirt of cleaner and a little rub down, the vest was tossed into the
washing machine as normal. Now it's lamb's wool white and fluffy. Ready to go again.
