Removing Lipstick Stains from Your Jersey

  • First, gently scrape off the excess lipstick with a dull knife or spoon.
  • Mix together a solution of warm water, laundry detergent, and 1 tablespoon of white vinegar.
  • Gently rub this solution into the stain with a soft cloth.
  • Rinse off the stained area with cold water and dry with a dry cloth. You may need to repeat this process several times to remove all the stain.
  • If the stain still remains, mix together a solution of equal parts water and rubbing alcohol.
  • Using a clean cloth, dab the stained area with rubbing alcohol solution. Rub gently until the stain is gone.
  • When the stain is completely gone, rinse jersey off with cold water and let it air dry.

Preventing Lipstick Stains in the Future

  • Start by washing the jersey according to its care instructions. Make sure to launder the jersey with like colors and use cold water.
  • Air drying is best for keeping the fabric in optimal condition but you can also tumble dry the jersey on low heat.
  • Spot treat the jersey with a pre-wash stain remover before putting it in the wash.
