I washed my kids clothes and then proceeded to throw everything into the dryer. When the drying cycle was over, I noticed that all of my clothes had this fruity smell to them. Then I noticed the empty lip gloss container at the bottom of the dryer. Can anyone help?
I had a very expensive white blouse that I got lip gloss on. I hand-washed it using warmish-hot water, and dish detergent, rubbing the part with the stain. This only took a few minutes, and after letting it dry, the stain was completely out.
I use an old product called phels-naptha soap to remove just about anything...you should be able to find it..it's a bar soap, my Grandma always used it..you can use a scrub brush to rub it on the stain...good luck..
Thanks you guys are a life saver. I'll go home and try it. See I was in class and had to go to the library because I needed some pics for class and I wore my mothers skirt to school.She knows but I had lip gloss in my pocket and it cracked and spilled all over the pocket and on the inside. I'm so scared. It's a new skirt but thanks, you guys gave me hope.
i have always used murphy's oil soap. put it on the stain let set a few minutes and then wash. you can even use the dollar store brand of murphy's. hope this helps.

I have always had good luck using cornstarch. Put a cloth or papertowel under the spot, sprinkle with cornstarch and rub with a clean dry cloth or papertowel. The cornstarch absorbs the oils and pulls them out of the fabric. This worked when I somehow managed to get sewing machine oil on a bridesmaid's dress I was making for my niece's wedding! Good luck...

Try Dawn dish detergent. I keep a bottle in my laundry room and just squeeze a little to cover the stain. If it's a bad stain you could even rub it in. Then I let it sit a few minutes (or overnight) and put the clothes in with the rest of the laundry.

There is a product called Lestoil. I found it at my local farm supply store as it doesn't seem to be available in a regular grocery store. It as a petroleum smell. But don't worry, after drying I don't notice the smell at all. It works wonders on my kids greasy smears on their clothing as well.

Go to the store and in the laundry section buy the OXY POWER spray the area good and let it set for a couple hours, it shoud come out. It might take a couple applications
