how to remove a lipstick stain from cloth?

Answer 1

Lipstick is a dye in an oily base. Therefore, a solvent based remover is the only type that will remove it. Water based or wet spotters will only spread and set the stain.

Rub in vegetable or mineral oil onto the affected areas and allow it to soak for 15 minutes.
Blot excess oils with an absorbent paper towel or terry cloth rags.
Then sponge in a solution of 50% ammonia with water (unless the fabric is silk or wool).
Rinse thoroughly with cool water and wring out.
Sponge remaining affected areas liberally with isopropyl rubbing alcohol.
Apply laundry pre treat and launder washables in hot water.
HOWEVER, a little lipstick contains a lot of dye in even a small particle. A VALUABLE PIECE OF ADVICE is to take your laundry to a professional with a stain removal expert at your local Laundromat or dry cleaners.

Answer 2

Place the stain face down on folded paper towels. Sponge area with dry-cleaning solvent. Replace towels frequently. Remove the solution with a damp cloth. Rub with a heavy-duty liquid detergent and or ammonia and launder.

(Alternative) You can use WD-40 and let it sit on the stain for 10 to 30 minutes, then sponge with ammonia and some liquid dish soap before washing.

In an emergency you might spray the stain with a little hairspray, let it sit, then wipe with a damp cloth.

Answer 3

Wash the shirt...

Start with alcohol, which works well. Do not rub, or you'll spread the mark. take a clean, white cloth and moisten it with alcohol. Then, blot the lipstick stain, which will disappear.

if you have a dishwasher: dishwashing detergent . dab on a little detergent, let it set for about 10 minutes, and then gently begin working on the stain from the outside edges inward.

also hairspray works by lifting the stain (depending on the material!!)
