What You’ll Need
- White vinegar
- Dish soap
- Cotton rag
- Bucket or bowl
Step 1: Blot the Stain
Start by blotting the stain with a clean, dry cotton rag to remove as much of lipstick as possible. Do not rub the area as this may cause the stain to spread further.
Step 2: Create a Vinegar Solution
In a bucket or bowl, mix together one cup of white vinegar and one tablespoon of dish soap. Mix until the solution is blended and creamy.
Step 3: Soak the Garment
Soak the stained seersucker garment in the vinegar solution for 30 minutes. Make sure to swish the fabric around in the solution to evenly distribute the cleaning properties.
Step 4: Rinse and Soak Again
Remove the garment from the vinegar solution and rinse it with cool water. If needed, repeat this process again for tougher stains.
Step 5: Dry and Check
Once you’ve rinsed the garment, hang it up to dry in a sunny spot. Once the garment is dry, check area to ensure the stain is gone. If the stain is still present, repeat steps 1-5 until the stain has been completely removed.
