Question:Do you know how to get chapstick stains out of clothes after they have been through the dryer. I had chapstick in my pocket and now have little stains on a bunch of my clothes. Thanks

Lip Balm Stain Removal from Clothing
To remove lip balm that has melted onto your clothes in the dryer, place the stained surface down on pad of paper towels, spray with WD-40, let stand a few minutes, turn fabric over and spray the other side. Apply liquid dishwashing detergent and work into the stained area, replacing towelling as it absorbs the stain. Wash in hottest water possible with laundry detergent and bleach (if the item is bleachable) and rinse in warm water. Special Note: If the clothes went through the dryer be sure to clean the drum of your dryer to remove any remaining wax residue by spraying a soft cloth with WD-40 then wiping the drum. Run a load of dry rags through a drying cycle to ensure that your drum is clean. Good Luck! =)


I've used a hot iron and towel to get candle wax out before. Maybe this would work on chapstick too.
Try letting dish soap soak on the stain for a few then toss it in a warm wash.
try eye makeup remover. i've gotten lipstick out of clothes with that stuff.
