How to remove a red lipstick stain

1. Always remove excess lipstick first, this makes stain removal process easier. I use a plastic spoon.

2. Apply mineral spirits with an eye dropper on the stain.

3. Gently brush the stained area with a clean soft brush.

4. Flush stain with rubbing alcohol, and brush again.

5. Repeat steps 2 through 5 until stain is fully removed and let dry. Be patient until it is removed.

6. Spray with a diluted PH neutral dish soap.

7. Treat with an enzyme detergent (Tide or Sunlight) and wash normally in the washing machine as per normal directions.
