If you've had an accident with your lipstick while wearing sleepwear, don't panic! It might seem like an impossible mess, but with the right approach and some creativity, you can get it out.

Removing Lipstick Stains from Sleepwear

  • Grab a few paper towels and gently blot away at the lipstick. Don't rub it in, as this will only make it harder to remove.
  • If there's still some color left over, mix a solution of 1/2 cup warm water, 1/4 cup white vinegar, and 1 teaspoon liquid detergent.
  • Dip a clean cloth into solution and dab at the stained area of the sleepwear. Do not scrub or rub. You want to work the solution into the stain and let it do its work.
  • Let solution sit for about 10 minutes to let it thoroughly penetrate the stain.
  • Rinse sleepwear with cold water. Gently massage the area until all of solution is removed.
  • Repeat the process if necessary until the stain is gone.
  • Once the stain is out, hang sleepwear up to dry.

Tips for Preventing Future Stains

  • Instead of applying lipstick directly on the fabric of the sleepwear, consider using a cloth or paper towel as a barrier between your lips and the fabric.
  • Be sure to check the ingredients of your lipstick. Waterproof, long-lasting formulas and those with oil may be more difficult to remove.
  • If you're going to be exposed to elements that could transfer onto the fabric, such as food, drinks, or other materials, consider wearing something else that's easier to clean.

Conclusion

With these simple steps, you should be able to effectively clean lipstick stains from sleepwear with relative ease. Have any of these tips been helpful? Let us know in the comments!
