Lipstick stains can be very difficult to remove. If you find yourself with lipstick stains on your clothes or any type of fabric, an easy way to remove them is by using WD-40.
How to do it: Spray a generous amount of WD-40 onto the lipstick stains. Let it sit for a few minutes and throw it in the washing machine.
Why this works: WD-40 contains Stoddard Solvent (also called White spirit) which works to dissolve oil and grease. As lipstick is oil-based, lipstick stains need to be treated with more than just soap and water.
Heavy-duty cleaners, like Lestoil, will also remove lipstick stains as it contains the same Stoddard Solvent ingredient as WD-40.

Thanks for this tip!
The only thing I’m wondering about is whether or not you have to put a stain remover on the WD-40, because isn’t it black?
If I’m remembering correctly, WD-40 sprays on clear. But you’re right, it does leave behind its own stain on fabric. But some liquid dishwashing soap will take it right out
Awesome article. I twice came home in the last year with lipstick on my shirt. Both times my wife managed to see it and flip out. This information will definitely help me out.
Dab stain very lightly with denatured alcohol using a soft, white cloth.
