Step-by-Step Instructions
- Blot the lipstick stain with a soft cloth or paper towel to absorb as much as possible.
- Mix 1 tablespoon of white vinegar with 2 tablespoons of dish soap in a bowl.
- Dip a toothbrush into the mixture and work it into the stain with gentle, circular motions.

- Using cold water, rinse detergent off the fabric.
- Air-dry area and check to see if the stain has disappeared.
Additional Tips
