How to Cleanup Colors

Removing Powdered Paint From Skin and Hair

Wondering how to get color powder off of your skin and hair after the run? Follow these instructions:

  • Dust off or blow off as much powdered paint as possible before you jump in the car or plop down on your white sofa!
  • Color powder washes right out! Just take a shower, grab a bar of soap and some shampoo and you should be set! Dawn dishwashing soap is a secret tip to getting all the last bits out.
  • If you have light colored hair – sometimes the colors can have a little bit more staying power! It will wash out in a few days. We say wear it loud and proud! But if you have prom the next day and you don’t want blue streaks in your hair, then you may want to wear a hat or try oiling your hair with Coconut oil before the race.
How to clean up powdered paint from your clothing

Wondering how to get color powder off of your clothes after the run? It’s nothing a tumble through the washing machine won’t take care of! Color Powder washes out of most clothing but since we haven’t tested every fabric under the sun you may want to leave your favorite running clothes or evening dress at home.

Dust off or blow off as much powder as possible before washing. You may want to wash your color branded gear separately in cold water. If it doesn’t wash out the first time, don’t put it in the dryer and try some stain remover or bleach (white clothes only) the second time around.
