Steps to Removing Lipstick Stains

When choosing a pre-treater, think about the base of the stain you are removing.

This rubbing alcohol remedy is easy as well. Take some rubbing alcohol and dab at the stain, which should disappear. Make sure you put something under the stain. For an added boost, you can put some of laundry soap in with the rubbing alcohol to get the stains out.
