Makeup has been enhancing the beauty of a female since ages and will continue to do so for coming centuries. Amongst the most popular cosmetic items used today is lipstick. It greatly adds to the appeal of a face and can make you look like a diva. However, lipstick looks good only as long as it is seen on the lips. Confused? I am talking about the incidence of lipstick appearing on napkins, handkerchief and shirt collars. In such a case, the bright red color looks more like a stain, than a sign of sensuality. If you are facing the problem of lipstick stains on fabrics, help is at hand. Use the home remedy given below and get out lipstick stains from fabrics.
How to Remove Lipstick Stains
Items Needed
- White Cloth (Soft and Dry)

- Dishwashing Liquid
- Stain Removers
- Brush
Instructions
- Put some denatured alcohol on the white cloth.
- Using the cloth, dab the alcohol lightly on the lipstick stain.
- With your fingers, rub dishwashing detergent into the stain, very gently.
- If the stain seems to be too stubborn, you can use stain remover also.
- After applying the stain remover, gently rub it with a brush.
- Wash the fabric in your machine, as usual.
- To ensure that the stain does not set in, air dry the fabric.
- If the lipstick stain is still there, getting it cleaned from a professional cleaner is the only option.
Tips for Removing Lipstick Stain
- Never ever rub alcohol on the stain. All you have to do is dab it slightly.
- If your fabric is such that it requires dry cleaning only, do not even try to remove the stain beforehand. Rather, take it directly to the dry cleaner.
