How do I remove liptick stain from an "easy care" silk shirt? The laundering instructions say it can be washed in the machine on a gentle cycle in cold water. Can I use regular stain remover? Or should I use soap, detergent, hairspray, vinegar, baking soda...

Spray and wash has worked for me before. That is some good stuff.

This is a tough one but,easy does it, and that stain should vanish. Work on the back of the fabric with dry cleaning solvent.Put paper towel under the stain. you'll have to keep applying it, and keep changing the paper towels under the spot too. Finally, dampen the stain and rub a bar of soap over it , gently rub and rinse until clean.

Soak it in COLD water for a long time, like for several hours. Rinse in clean water repeatedly. DO NOT use hot water-- it will set the blood and you'll never get it out. Even then, you'll never really get all the blood out. Blood is one of those things that gets into the very fibers of the material and it's virtually impossible to get it all out. Good thing your shirt is black. The stain will not be so noticeable...

Use a bar of hand soap to mark the spot very well before washing it as usual. It should get it out

My stepmother removes EVERYTHING with bar soap. Any kind. She uses Caress or Coast, but says that anything works. I've tried it on all of my hard stains with cold water, and it's worked beautifully.

Spot wash with liquid detergent such as Tide or Wisk and only use cold water, than wash it the usual way.

Rub it with petroleum jelly until the lipstick smears.
Add a few drops of dish soap to the mix, and rub that in.
Then launder as usual.
