Lipstick - Always read and follow the care instructions and any warnings on 
the garment label. And, follow these <A HREF="http://www.fabriclink.com/fabricstains/Genstain.html">General Rules</A> for stain removal.
Place the stain face down on folded paper towels. Sponge area with 
dry-cleaning solvent. Replace towels frequently; let dry; rinse.
Rub with a heavy-duty liquid detergent and launder. 
Repeat treatment if needed using an all-fabric bleach, because it is less 
damaging to colors and fabric.
If stain remains, treat as a <A HREF="http://www.fabriclink.com/fabricstains/Dyestains.html">"Dye Stain."</A>

Stain Removal--Lipstick 
Treat stains as soon as possible after staining. The older the stain, the 
more difficult it will be to remove. All stain removal methods should be 
applied prior to laundering washable garments. Stains that have been 
laundered and dried are almost impossible to remove. Stain removal from 
washable fabrics Place stain face down on paper towels. Sponge back of stain 
with dry cleaning solvent (Energine). Move fabric to clean area of towels 
frequently. Rinse. Rub liquid soap or light-duty detergent in stain until 
outline is gone. Launder. Stain Removal from carpet Remove excess lipstick by 
blotting up with a clean absorbent towel. Apply a spot cleaner such as K2r or 
a dry cleaning solvent such as Energine according to product directions. 
(Test in an inconspicuous place to make carpet color is not removed.) Some 
spot cleaners dry to a powder. If this type is used, vacuum before 
continuing. Apply carpet shampoo (diluted 1 part liquid carpet shampoo to 4 
parts water) with a brush or towel. Let the area dry thoroughly, then vacuum. 
Repeat if necessary. 


Love & Light,
