Question from Susan

My daughter was playing with a friend the other day and she ended up lipstick on the back of her little dress. Any suggestions on how to get it out? I tried something that removes oil or something, but didn’t work. Any other suggestions?

Debra’s Answer

Readers, any suggestions?

I looked at the standard recommendations for removing lipstick stains and didn’t find any that I considered nontoxic. One commercial product contained citrus solvent, so you might try that. Many recommended rubbing alcohol, so you might try vodka.

I’ve never had to remove a lipstick stain, so have no personal experience with this.
