I think the jacket is cotton material it's light blue with white and oink strips and the lipstick is dark red. It really looks bad.Lipstick stain on jacket How Do I Get it out?
Turn jacket with outside facing an absorbent cloth or paper towels.Put a bit of baby oil on the spot and blot with a clean cloth changing paper on underside often. This should be done gently as to not spread into a BIGGER spot. Dip that spot of the jacket into a small bowl of warm water and squirt on some degreaser or detergent such as Dawn take an old toothbrush to work it in and rinse under warm running water This has always worked for me as a cosmetologist! A little crisco can take the place of the baby oil.Lipstick stain on jacket How Do I Get it out?
soak for a long time in cold water and oxyclean. or order LA Awesome stain remover, i use both and both are great.
Before you do anything, check the label of the affected garment to determine the fabric. Since many shirts require special treatment such as dry clean, you may need to take the item directly to the professional. However, if the lipstick stain is noticed once you get home, start by creating a plan of attack. 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.
