Cleaning lipstick stains from dobby can seem daunting, but it doesn't have to be. With the right cleaning supplies and technique, you'll have those stains gone in no time.
How To Clean Lipstick Stains from Dobby Quickly and Easily
First, mix together some warm water and a mild detergent. Dip a soft-bristled brush into the mixture and gently dab at the stain. Don't rub or scrub, as this could cause the stain to spread or become more set into the fabric.
Once you've treated the stain with the mixture, use a clean cloth dampened with cold water to blot away any remaining residue. Repeat these steps as needed until the stain is completely gone. For tough or set-in stains, you may need to employ a stronger cleaning solution such as white vinegar, rubbing alcohol, or hydrogen peroxide.
When tackling any type of stain, it's important to start from outside in to avoid spreading the stain further. After you've removed the stain, rinse area with cold water and allow it to air dry. Do not put the fabric in the dryer until you're certain the stain has been completely removed as the heat may cause stain to set even deeper.
Tips for Preventing Lipstick Stains on Dobby
Be sure to cover your dobby furniture with slipcovers or throws. This will help to protect your furniture from lipstick stains and other spills.
It's also a good idea to keep a cleaning kit handy so you can treat stains as soon as they occur. Your kit should include dish soap, white vinegar, rubbing alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, paper towels, a soft-bristled brush, and an old toothbrush. These items will help make cleaning up any type of mess on dobby easy and quick.
