How do you get rid of a chapstcik stain?!
Question:
I left some chapstick in the wash and then there were a bunch of stains on my shirts. any ideas how to get rid of them?
Answers:
Since this is an oil-based stain you need to clean it with something that will cut the oil.
Personally, I use Greased Lightning. It works great on all kinds of stains. Hopefully you didn't dry the shirts. That'll set the stain. I'd still try the G.L. OR I also swear by Lestoil. Spray or treat the stains with either of these, let it soak in and set a while. Then wash as usual. Check before putting in the dryer. If it doesn't all come out, do it again. I've done this before too. Sometimes the stains came out, some didn't. Good luck.

Use a cheep powder detergent not liquid, dampen (NOT WET JUST DAMP) the stain rub the detergent into the stain let it sit for atleast 5 minutes wash in cold water and hang dry. DO NOT USE DOWNEY OR DETERGENT WITH DOWNEY IN IT using that will only cause the stain to look more oily!
Its kinda of weird, but Coke. Chap stick is oily, and coke with no detergent will get it out. I got a tattoo and you know how you have to keep the AD ointment on all the time, well it stained my shirts and I washed them with coke and out it came. Of course after, you should wash with detergent.
