When you want to make sure you look stylish, nothing feels worse than a lipstick stain on your favourite tshirt. Lipstick is quite difficult to remove and usually requires special cleaning strategies. This article will provide you with an easy guide on how to remove lipstick stains from tshirts.
1. First Step: Blot the Stain
The first step in removing a lipstick stain from your tshirt is to use a paper towel or a cloth to blot the stain. Blotting helps soak up some of the stain and should be done immediately after the stain has been made. When you are blotting, make sure to remove as much of the lipstick as possible. Be careful not to rub or scrub the stain as this can cause it to spread.
2. Second Step: Wash the T-Shirt
Once you have blotted out the stain, you can then move on to washing the t-shirt in cold water. Cold water is better for removing lipstick stains as it helps to prevent stain from setting. You can either hand wash t-shirt or put it in the washing machine. If you choose to put the t-shirt in the washing machine, make sure you use the gentle cycle and a mild laundry detergent.
3. Third Step: Treat the Stain with a Stain Remover
The last step in getting rid of a lipstick stain is to treat it with a stain remover. Use a store-bought stain remover specifically designed for removing lipstick stains. Read the instructions on the label carefully and follow them. Once you have applied stain remover, allow the t-shirt to sit for a few minutes before washing the t-shirt again.
If the stain is still visible after washing, you can repeat the process until the stain is completely gone. If stain persists, you may need to consider using a stronger cleaner or take the t-shirt to a professional dry cleaner.
