If you've just opened your bathroom drawers and come across your ETOILE clear cases looking a little cloudy, don't be alarmed! The appearance of a cloudy gaze or fuzziness is a natural side effect of using biodegradable TPU and fortunately, easy to remove. 

But firstly, why does this happen? This can be due to a buildup of dirt, oil, and other residues on the surface of the bag. We recommend keeping your clear makeup bags in another room outside of the bathroom where there may be excess moisture in the air. But don't worry! In this blog post, we'll show you how to clean your makeup bag with biodegradable TPU and restore its clarity.

Why Choose Biodegradable TPU Makeup Bags?

Environmental Benefits

Using biodegradable TPU makeup bags offers significant environmental benefits. Traditional plastic bags contribute to long-lasting waste that can take hundreds of years to decompose, polluting our landfills and oceans. In contrast, biodegradable TPU breaks down more quickly, reducing plastic waste and its environmental impact. By choosing TPU makeup bags, you're making an eco-friendly choice that supports sustainability and helps protect our planet for future generations.

 

Durability and Quality

Biodegradable TPU makeup bags are not only eco-friendly but also incredibly durable and high-quality. TPU is known for its strength and resilience, ensuring your makeup bag can withstand daily use and the rigours of travel. Unlike some biodegradable materials that may sacrifice durability, TPU retains its structural integrity, making it a reliable choice for keeping your beauty essentials organized and protected. The quality of TPU means your bag will look great and perform well for years to come.

 

Tips for Maintaining Your Biodegradable TPU Makeup Bag Clear

To keep your biodegradable TPU makeup bag looking its best, here are a few tips:

• Clean your makeup bag regularly, especially if you use it every day.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners on your makeup bag, as these can damage the surface.
• Store your makeup bag in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
• Keep your makeup bag away from sharp objects, as these can scratch or puncture the surface.
• If your makeup bag gets wet, dry it immediately with a clean cloth to prevent water damage.

 

Preventive Measures for Cloudiness

Proper Storage

Proper storage is critical to preventing cloudiness in your biodegradable TPU makeup bag. Here are some best practices:

• Avoid Humid Areas: Store your makeup bag in a dry place. Humidity and excess moisture can accelerate the buildup of residues that cause cloudiness.
• Keep Away from Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to sunlight can degrade the TPU material and cause discolouration. Store your bag in a cool, shaded area.
• Separate Storage: Consider storing your makeup bag in a drawer or shelf rather than in a bathroom where humidity levels fluctuate.

Regular Maintenance Routine

Maintaining your biodegradable TPU makeup bag regularly can help prevent cloudiness and keep it looking clear and new:

• Periodic Cleaning: If you use your bag daily, clean it at least once a month. This helps remove any accumulated dirt, oil, and residue.
• Inspection: Regularly check your bag for any signs of buildup or damage. Addressing issues early can prevent long-term damage.
• Dry Thoroughly: After cleaning, ensure your bag is completely dry before storing it. This helps prevent any water-related damage or mildew growth.

 

How to Clean Away The Cloudy Gaze / Fogginess On Your Clear Cosmetic Case

You will need:

1. A soft, lint-free cloth
2. Warm water
3. Mild dish soap or baby shampoo
4. Small bowl

Instructions:

1. Create a Cleaning Solution: In your small bowl, mix a small amount of mild dish soap or baby shampoo with warm water. Be careful not to use too much soap, as this can leave a residue on your makeup bag.
2. Clean the Bag: Dip your soft, lint-free cloth into the cleaning solution and wring out any excess water. Gently wipe the surface of your makeup bag with the cloth. Work in small sections! Don't miss corners and crevices!
3. Dry: Once you've finished cleaning, wipe the bag just with warm water and be sure to remove all traces of soap or shampoo. Any excess residue can cause further cloudiness. Finally, dry the case completely with a dry and clean cloth. You can also leave your makeup bag to air dry, but be sure to place it in a well-ventilated area.

OR, if you want a quicker solution, we recommend using a plastic cleaning solution like this.
