As someone who adores bold lipstick, I've battled those stubborn stains on favorite garments too many times. Made with greasy pigments, they're tough to shift—but skip pricey chemicals like K2r that can harm fabrics. Instead, try this reliable home remedy: white vinegar applied with a toothbrush.

1. Mix equal parts white vinegar and cold water.
2. Apply the mixture to soak the stain well.
3. Let it sit for a few minutes.
4. Scrub gently with a toothbrush.
5. Machine wash as usual.
Voilà! The lipstick stain is completely gone, thanks to white vinegar. Quick, easy, and effective on jeans, cotton, synthetics, silk, wool—even windows or mirrors.
White vinegar excels as a natural degreaser, dissolving lipstick's oily base. A short soak breaks down the fatty residue in fibers, making it simple to wash away.
Alternatively, use 70° alcohol: Soak a clean cloth, rub the stain, let sit a few minutes, then rinse.
