How do you remove red lipstick from white polyester?

My eldest daughter's white first Holy Communion dress now fits my youngest daughter for Confirmation. Over the years though, it was used to play weddings, hence the lipstick! It's 100% polyester, warm hand wash, no dry cleaning.How do you remove red lipstick from white polyester?
Try acetone. That's what we used to use when I worked in the junior department of an upscale store. It can be used on almost all synthetics (polyester, nylon, etc. It worked on make-up such as foundation, lipstick, even grease! It saved a lot of clothes from being returned to the manufacturer as ';damaged';.You can buy acetone in the paint department of even retail stores as walmart. (just ask them, they should know where it is.It's usually near the turpentine and paint thinner. It's in a metal container. I would test it first in a inconspicuous area of the dress, first. But I feel confident it will work. I've never not seen it get anything out, especially lipstick, which is common in dressing rooms as people are trying clothes on. :) Please let us know.How do you remove red lipstick from white polyester?
Your teen daughter is able to wear a dress from a second-grader???





It's been a long time since I was raised Catholic, but First Communion was for kids in second grade and Confirmation occurred in tenth grade.





Do you mean that your teen is getting confirmed and you want your youngest to wear your teen's old communion/playtime dress to the ceremony?





Lipstick is wax-based. You should be able to ';melt'; it out. Sandwich the affected area between two heavy paper towels and set your iron on low. Iron the area with lipstick and the wax should be melted and absorbed by the paper towels.





The last of the color stain should be worked out using OxyClean and hand-washing.
Hi..i would try hand cleaner like the mechanics use. It is inexpensive and can be bought at Walmart or Canadian tire. Rub it on, let sit for a half hour, then wash as usual OR wipe off with a damp rag. I use it for all kinds of stains and have never seen it damage anything.
100% polyester dry cleans just fine. You probably have a bad label in the garment but a quality cleaners will be able to do it.
