Start by blotting stained area with a paper towel or cotton cloth. Blot away as much of the lipstick as you can without rubbing it into fabric. Do not scrub or rub the stain in any way.
Mix a small amount of a mild liquid detergent, such as hand dishwashing soap or baby shampoo, with one quart of cold water. Make sure to use a detergent that is free from bleaching agents or additives.
Soak a clean towel or cotton ball in the detergent solution and dab it onto the lipstick stain. Be careful not to rub the stain, as this may cause it to spread further. Allow the detergent solution to sit on the stain for several minutes before moving on to the next step.
Next, use a damp towel to blot area with warm water. Gently dab the area until the lipstick has been removed. Then allow the fabric to air dry.
If necessary, repeat steps two through four until lipstick stain is completely removed. Be sure to check the fabric after each step to ensure that no further damage is being done.
