Answer 2

I love the results I get from using goop on stains. It is sold at walmart. It is a hand cleaner that removes oil (for mechanics). Just rub a dime size onto each mark and let sit 20 minutes. Wash as usual. Once in a while it will take 2 applications to completely remove the mark. I haven't had to remove chapstick yet, but it should work. p.s. - it's in the automotive dept.

Answer 3

Use Dawn Dish Soap spot clean and soak for about 10 min and the wash it will take the oils out.

Answer 4
