Maxi dresses are versatile, fashionable, and a great staple for any wardrobe. But when you're wearing your beautiful maxi dress and notice a bright red lipstick stain, the look isn't quite as glamorous.
The good news is that removing lipstick stains from a maxi dress is actually quite easy. We’ve put together a few simple steps that can help you get rid of those stubborn stains in no time.
Step 1: Blot Stained Area
To start, grab some paper towels or a clean cloth and gently blot the stained area. This will help soak up some of the excess lipstick and prevent it from spreading.
Step 2: Make a Cleaning Solution
Next, you'll want to make a cleaning solution to help remove stain. The simplest way to do this is by combining one part dish soap with two parts hydrogen peroxide. Mix the solution together in a bowl.
Step 3: Apply the Solution to the Stain
Once solution is ready, use a white cloth or cotton swab to apply it to the stained area. Gently rub the fabric together so that the solution has a chance to penetrate the fabric and break down the lipstick.
Step 4: Rinse with Water
After the solution has had time to work its magic, rinse the area with cold water. This will help wash away the solution and any remaining lipstick.
Step 5: Repeat as Needed
If the stain still remains, repeat steps 2-4 until it's gone.
Step 6: Dry the Dress
Finally, once the stain is gone, hang the dress up to dry. Make sure to avoid direct sunlight, as this can cause the colors to fade.
By following these simple steps, you can easily remove pesky lipstick stains from your maxi dress. Soon, your dress will be looking as good as new!
