Lip Gloss Stains on Clothing

I got a lipgloss stain on my shirt. It's a bright red, so there's no hiding it. I pre-cleaned it, and washed it. It lightened up a bit, but it's still there. I don't know if this helps, but it's an Ulta pot of lip gloss. Thanks.

I would try pre-treating it with water and cascade with dawn powdered dishwasher detergent. Mix into a paste, let set for an hour or so and then wash. The only caution is if it is a dark color. Do a quick test on the inside hem to make sure it won't discolor. May want to even try Dawn liquid dish detergent by itself first, it really is a wonder product!

I accidentally put my lip gloss in the dryer and i would really like to get the little "gressy" spots that are on all of my clothes off.


How do you remove lip gloss spots from clothing? The items went through the dryer and now I can't seem to remove the spots.

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. (04/24/2006)

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. (10/12/2007)

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. (10/05/2008)
