How do i get lipstick out of my sheets and bed spread?

Lol why do you have lipstick on your sheets and bedspread? A lipstick remover like the woman above will work just fine but it might be a bit expensive. Some stain remover like spray and wash or Oxi Clean would probably work and just let them pre-soak for a while before the actual wash cycle ;)How do i get lipstick out of my sheets and bed spread?
Home Remedies for Lipstick Stain Removal


Before you do anything, check the label of the affected garment to determine the fabric. Since many items require special treatment such as dry clean, you may need to take the item directly to the professional. Keep in mind that lipstick is an oil-based cosmetic. Therefore, you want to use remedies that will combat the grease. First, we recommend you always use a pre-wash, which will definitely help.





Start with alcohol, which works well. Do not rub, or you'll spread the mark. Simply take a clean, white cloth and moisten it with alcohol. Then, blot the lipstick stain, which will disappear. Another home remedy is dishwashing detergent such as Sunlight and Dawn, both formulated to fight grease. For this method of lipstick stain removal, dab on a little detergent, let it set for about 10 minutes, and then gently begin working on the stain from the outside edges inward.





Another great home remedy for removing lipstick stains is ammonia. Just about everyone has ammonia at home for cleaning and if not, it can be found at any grocery store for just a few dollars. Again, start by blotting off as much of the stain as you can, using plain water. When done, use a cotton swab moistened with ammonia to dab at the stain. Once the stain begins to fade, wash the shirt by hand in warm soapy water, preferably using Dawn dishwashing detergent.





Finally, hairspray is an old trick used by women (and men) for years. As long as the fabric will permit it, spray right onto the stain, and then let it sit for about 10 to 15 minutes. In most cases, a clean cloth moistened with warm water is all you need to wipe the stain away. If your find this method of lipstick stain removal does not completely remove the stain, repeat and then wash by hand using Dawn or Sunlight.How do i get lipstick out of my sheets and bed spread?
If the stains are fresh (within the week) then try using wet ones wipes and some elbow grease. Those wipes have taken out things that I really thought would be there forever!
use a color safe bleach. it works like a charm .
