Tips for THE WIFE: Removing Lipstick Stains
February 21st, 2012 — Cleaning, The Husband, Tips
Whether you’ve just experienced a hot and heavy lip locking session with your husband or you’ve just given a friendly hug, lipstick can easily get onto the collar of your or your husbands shirt. No more smudges and pesky stains caused by lipstick as it can easily be removed by following any of the suggestions.
Sometimes the stains are not noticed right away which means the stain has time to set in, making it even more difficult to remove. However, if the lipstick stain is noticed once you get home, start by creating a plan of attack for the best results.
1. Out and About – If you are out when you notice the stain and don’t have the necessary equipment at your disposal, you can always dab, (not rub!) the stain with water. This should suffice until you get home.
2. Labels – Very important! Before moving on, read the care label of the shirt to see if the fabric calls for any special care or treatment, or if certain products should be avoided. Many shirts require special treatment such as dry clean, you may need to take the item directly to the professional.
3. Stain Removers – Because lipstick is a grease-based cosmetic, it is recommended to use a prewash stain remover before washing or rinsing the shirt. Apply a prewash stain remover and rinse in warm water. Do not rub, as rubbing may worsen the stain and can make it more grounded. Blot or dab the stain with the stain remover by using a white cloth. If the stain still isn’t out, apply a liquid detergent and rinse again in warm water.
4. Dish Washing Detergent – Another home remedy is dishwashing detergent such as Sunlight and Dawn, both formulated to fight grease. For this method of lipstick stain removal, 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.
