The sooner you can get to work the better.

Getting lipstick out of white carpet.

Lipstick stains attach to the carpet fibers with grease so you will need a cleaning product that dissolves grease or oils. Although there are a lot of problems to tackle we ll focus on only one for today. Using a clean white cloth and a lifting twisting motion remove the stain from the carpet. Lipstick on the carpet isn t easy to get out and that s why you re probably going to want to go with a professional product like goo gone.

Apply goo gone on the lipstick stain. However these may discolor your carpet. With an old cloth apply goo gone directly onto the lipstick stain and press into the carpet. So without further ado let s get things started.

Like most stains you find on your carpet it s important to act as soon as you discover the stain. And in our case it s the best product to work against lipstick. Repeat process until stain is gone. Pour a small amount of the citrus cleaner on a soft white cloth then hold it over the lipstick spot for 30 seconds or so lifting the cloth and starting with a fresh area any time the cloth absorbs some of the lipstick color.

Test a cleaning product on a corner of your carpet. But if you are in a pinch and can only work with what you have then so long as what you have is rubbing alcohol and dish detergent you can also enjoy a good clean of your carpet. A citrus based cleaner designed to remove sticker and tape residue also lifts some of the waxy oily spots left behind by lipstick on carpet. Goo gone can almost remove everything.

Most all purpose stain removers will work as will dry cleaning fluid.
