Lipstick Stain Removal

Lipstick stain removal from clothes and fabrics is quite simple.

Most dish detergents are designed to fight grease and since lipstick is an oil-based product, they are perfect for getting out lipstick stains. Apply a little detergent directly to the lipstick stain and dab, dab, dab, never rub!

Rubbing or wiping the stain is only going to ensure you have lipstick on more of your shirt than just the original stain. Always blot or dab!

When you've gotten out as much of the lipstick stain as you can, apply a laundry pretreatment to the stain and let it set. Again, blot or dab with a wet cloth, and then hand wash the garment. With lipstick stain you should always hand wash the item by itself because you don't want the lipstick color to stain any of your other clothes by washing them together.
