Lipstick

There are several different types of lipstick. Some are much more difficult to remove than others.

  1. Lightly dampen the stain and rub with laundry soap. If the stain is removed, proceed to step 3. If not, proceed to step 2.
  2. Sponge with methylated spirits. Lightly rub in eucalyptus oil. Check for colourfastness before using methylated spirits and eucalyptus oil.
  3. Wash the garment in Omo High Performance concentrate using water as hot as the fabric will allow.

CAUTION: Care should be taken when handling methylated spirits and eucalyptus oil. Ensure safety directions on the bottle are followed and store out of reach of children.
