Chapstick Stains

Chapstick is a form of grease and anything that will dissolve grease will work. Dry cleaning is best but repeated washing will eventually shift it.
Stains from the colored versions will need a good stain remover or oxy bleach.

A: Chapstick can probably be loosened and removed like wax, it can be frozen with a piece of ice and picked out, or it can be loosened with white spirits (mineral Spirits) or Drycleaning fluid. Has anyone tried Gloo Gone if the stain is contained? -- Comment

A: Don't dry it in the dryer until you've gotten the stain out. That sets  it. Try working Dawn dish liquid or Mean Green Degreaser (avail at Dollar General) into the stains and letting it set all day, then launder as  usual. -- Modisette, Teri  Reply
