But, you must admit, this is not cheap if you buy a quality product, and it is not safe, especially when it comes to children’s and delicate things. And so, quite by accident, I found a way to remove lipstick from clothes.
Surely, each of us has had such a problem, and what to do if you are outside the city at the dacha, and there are no household chemicals at hand.
Today I decided to check whether ordinary lemon and baking soda can really cope with a greasy lipstick stain. I won’t lie, I didn’t fully believe in the success of the operation.
Will need
So, to try out this life hack in action, we will need the following components:
- Lemon – 1 pc.
- Baking soda – 50 gr.
- Warm water – 300 ml.
Removing lipstick from clothes
I take the stained T-shirt and lightly wet the stain. A spray bottle or a regular new dishwashing sponge works well for this.
Next, I sprinkle the stain with regular baking soda. I think there will be no problems with this component - it can be found in any kitchen. By the way, as an option, the note said that instead of soda, citric acid would be fine.
Then I squeezed a couple drops of lemon juice. Soda reacts with citric acid, resulting in the formation of abundant foam. And that’s it – I forgot about the T-shirt for 1 hour.
Next, I wash the T-shirt in warm water using my usual detergent and dry it.
Checking the wash result
- After all the manipulations I examined the item, I can note the following.
- The stain washed off well - no traces remained.
- There are no streaks left, as sometimes happens after washing.
- The method is simple and safe, and will also help out if you are outside the house, at the dacha, and don’t have a stain remover on hand.
I am satisfied with the result of the wash: the stain was completely washed off, no greasy stains formed, the T-shirt “came back” to life.
Now I will confidently use this method and recommend it to my family, friends and relatives.
