Chapstick Stains on Clothing
I have fought Chapstick stains for years, and ruined countless articles of clothing with those tubes of Chapstick going through the washer and dryer and getting over every article of clothing in the laundry load. I contacted the manufacturer directly to ask for help.
They recommended Un-Du candle wax remover. I was very pleasantly surprised to find that works really well for removing chap stick stains out of clothing.
I wish I had asked them earlier for help. I would have saved myself a bundle in clothing costs, wasted time and energy, as well as avoided several outbursts from my Husband expressing his extreme displeasure with all those fun little grease spots dotting just about every article of clothing. It also appears melted Chapstick is especially attracted to items that are most favored, new, or expensive!
This is the real deal- Don't waste your time and money on stain sticks, stain removers, or extra strength anything- Super hot water, powerful detergents, and concentrated cleaners will not do a thing! I have tried them all and I can tell you honestly and personally they won't help.
Un-Du Candle Wax Remover works like a charm, and it is available in grocery stores. If you think about it, it makes sense too. The primary component of Chapstick is a form of wax.
Once you discover the stain, add a few drops of undu- Follow the manufacturers instructions- Let it sit for 30 minute or so. Wash with your regular detergent and the warmest setting recommended for the fabric. This product works great (and has restored peace in my home) and saved many articles of our clothing from the trash bin.

Wash it thoroughly. I guess the first person to answer said it all.
