Removing Stains
Lipstick
Kiss lipstick stains goodbye with these easy tips.
Removing lipstick stains from whites
On the go
Some people swear by hairspray to remove lipstick. Liberally spritz the affected area to prevent stain from setting. Afterwards, blot away excess hairspray, being careful not to spread the stain.
At home
Place a clean, dry cloth on the front of the stain, then dab (don’t rub) the back of the stain with dish soap on a damp cloth. Be careful not to transfer lipstick back onto garment. Wash on the hottest recommended water setting with regular detergent and Clorox® Regular-Bleach₁, concentrated for whites. Repeat as needed, and make sure to check garment before drying.
