When you’re dealing with a lipstick stained leather belt the first thing you want to do is to remove as much of the lipstick as possible by flicking it away with a soft cloth before committing to any deep cleaning. You can also scrape or brush the mark away gently with a soft brush or cloth.
Once you’ve removed as much of the stain as possible, you’ll need to use a gentle cleaner to get rid of the remaining lipstick. There are a few different types of cleaners that work well for this:
- A diluted dish detergent solution (mix one teaspoon of dishwashing liquid with one cup of warm water)
- A soft cloth dampened with white vinegar
- Leather cleaner specifically designed for unsealed and delicate leathers
Apply cleaning solution to the lipstick stain using a soft cloth or sponge and scrub gently until the stain is gone. Once you’ve removed the lipstick, rinse off cleaning solution with a damp cloth before allowing the belt to dry.
Finally, treat the belt with a leather conditioner to restore its suppleness. If you’re not sure which conditioner is best for your belt, check with the manufacturer for recommendations.
With this simple cleaning technique, you can easily remove pesky lipstick stains from your leather belts and keep them looking their best. Don't let lipstick stains ruin your favorite belts – try this simple technique today!
