I had the same thing happen to me too many times to count... Something I have found to work is Pine-Sol, like you clean with. I had tried everything one day and read the label on the Pine-sol and believe it or not it's for laundry as well. I poured full strengh on the stain and let it sit an hour or so and it took it right out!

I scrubbed the stains with Dawn liquid soap and then with a stain stick, washed soon after and it worked! It came out of denim, cotton and white scrub tops- Thank God!

My son did the same thing and of course I had a full load of clothes that now all have blotches all over every piece of clothing. I did re wash them with Shout and even tried Oxiclean but when they came out of the dryer it didn't do the trick. Is it really set in now that I have washed and dried them twice?

Dish soap worked awesome for me! Thanks for the advice. I was really sad when I thought I ruined my brand new silk shirt.

I have a hoddie that is 50% poly and 50% cottton. I got chapstick on it and I already used dawn and put it in the drier for a few minutes it did not help. Would goo gone work in this situation? Help please!

Butane or lighter fluid that you use in lighters did the trick for me. Basically I took the butane and spot treated each article of clothing using two paper towels, on on each side of the garment, to absorb the excess fluid. I then threw it in the wash right away. You can purchase a bottle of butane at any major grocery store. d

I have lots of chapstick stains all over my clothes. Now I always check my pockets before putting them in the washer. I have no clue how to get it out of my sweaters, pants, capris, shirts, and shorts. Could you send me some simple directions on how to get it out to make your clothes to look like new?

I tried Goo Gone and it didn't work for me. I left my cherry carmex in a load of laundry and dried it! It's all over my work scrubs and my husbands brand new levi jeans! I don't know what else to do!! The Goo Gone seemed to leave a bigger discolored area. I rubbed it on with a wash clothe and let it sit for about 5 minutes. HELP!

Editor's Note: Try mechanics hand cleaner on the spots. I cleans up grease and might work for this.

I left my chapstick in my pants this morning =/ I've actually done this before, and I used dishwashing liquid, not Dawn if I can recall. Just spread the dishwashing liquid over the spot and rub it in, then wash the clothes like normal. Worked for me. I'm sure Goo Gone works as well. It's some strong stuff.

Goo Gone is the answer! I just used it yesterday to remove two set in Chapstick stains. One was on my brand new 50/poly-50/cotton jacket that I am required to wear to work. The other was on a pair of 100% cotton pants that were washed in the same load as the jacket. I had tried twice previously to remove the stains with no success. I sprayed both the back and front of each stain with Goo Gone, let it sit for about 5min. then rewashed the clothes. The jacket I washed in hot water and the pants I washed in warm water. Both came out beautifully! Thank goodness for Goo Gone.

I'd try Goo Gone. I used it to remove vegetable oil mixed with oil paint (don't ask!) off shirts that had been washed and dried multiple times.

How do I get out chap stick that has been washed and dried out of clothes?

RE: Chapstick Stains on Clothing

Ammonia will usually take out any oily/greasy stain. Also a product mentioned here several times, Awesome (get it at the dollar store), shampoo, fels naptha, all work well for me. Of course, not wanting to rewash the item again if any doesn't work, I use all the above at once to make sure! Never fails. (06/16/2006)

RE: Chapstick Stains on Clothing

I have gotten washed/dried lipstick out with a combo of ammonia/borax. Also, there are spot removers specifically made for grease and fat type stains. (06/16/2006)

Request: Chapstick Stains on Clothing

My granddaughter left her bright pink chapstick in her pants pocket. (Colored clothes load). It wasn't discovered until the load had already been dried (in the dryer). Is there any way to get pink chapstick stains out of colored clothes that have already been through the dryer?

Sure would appreciate any help you can offer!

My old standby is good old Dawn dishwashing liquid--not any of their fancy mutations, just the original. Good luck--will you let us know what works?

I have had good luck with the Spray N Wash brand "Stain Stick." Put in on and let it sit several DAYS and wash as usual. It is very good at taking out greasy spots set in by a dryer.
