What You'll Need

  • Cold water
  • Dish soap
  • White vinegar
  • Baking soda
  • Soft-bristled brush
  • Clean white cloths

Step 1: Rinse With Cold Water

Start by holding the stain beneath a stream of cold water. This will help break up the lipstick so it can be washed away more easily.

Step 2: Create Soap and Vinegar Mixture

In a bowl, mix equal parts dish soap and white vinegar and stir until it forms a paste. The mixture should be about the consistency of paint.

Step 3: Apply Paste to Stain

Using a soft-bristled brush, apply the paste directly to stain and gently scrub in a circular motion. Then allow the paste to sit on stain for 10 minutes.

Step 4: Rinse With Cold Water

Rinse the paste off with cold water and then inspect stain. If it's still present, repeat steps 2-4.

Step 5: Mix Baking Soda and Water

In a bowl, mix together 1 tablespoon of baking soda and 1/2 cup of cold water to form a paste. The paste should be the consistency of cake frosting.

Step 6: Apply Baking Soda Paste

Using a soft-bristled brush, apply the baking soda paste directly to the stain and gently scrub in a circular motion. Then allow the paste to sit on the stain for 10 minutes.

Step 7: Rinse With Cold Water

Rinse the baking soda paste off with cold water and then inspect the stain. If it's still present, repeat steps 5-7.

Step 8: Blot Excess Moisture

Using a clean white cloth, dab area to blot away any excess moisture.

Step 9: Place in Sunlight

Hang pajamas in direct sunlight to dry completely. The sun's UV rays have natural bleaching properties that can help remove stubborn stains.

Step 10: Inspect and Repeat as Needed

Once pajamas are dry, inspect the area for remaining stains. If any lipstick remains, repeat steps 1-9 until the stain is completely gone.

Conclusion

Removing lipstick stains from pajamas doesn't have to be difficult. With a few simple steps, you can make your pajamas look good as new in no time.
