Whether it's from a lip print or a kiss, lipstick stains can leave an unsightly mess on your polo shirt. Don't panic. There are a few simple steps that you can take to get the stain out. Here’s what you should do:
- Start by scraping off any excess lipstick with a knife or spoon.
- Using a clean cloth, dab the stain with rubbing alcohol or vinegar. This will help to break down the stain.
- Apply a small amount of laundry detergent directly to the stain and let it sit for a few minutes.
- Rinse area thoroughly with cool water.
- Repeat these steps if needed.
- Launder as usual in cold water.
If the stain persists, you may need to use a stronger product such as a stain remover. Try using a pre-wash stain remover, working from the outside of the stain towards the center. Let it sit for 10 minutes before washing in cold water.
To prevent lipstick stains in the future, it is important to treat area immediately if a lipstick stain is spilled. Keep a stain remover on hand to treat the area quickly.
