Removing Lipstick Stain After Drying Clothes

-
We've all been there. You're pulling out a freshly dried load of laundry when you find that empty chapstick or lipstick. You're devastated that a whole load of clothes is potentially ruined. Fret no more. While this method of stain removal is not fail-proof, it does give you the opportunity to save your favorite khakis or blouse from even the worst of stains. This potentially saves you hundreds of dollars versus buying a new wardrobe to replace that which has been stained and saves you from taking your clothes to a professional.



What You'll Need:
Old Toothbrush
Dish Soap
Stain Remover
Elbow Grease


Begin by putting dish soap on each of the stains (grease spots).





Use the toothbrush to work the dish soap into the fabric on each spot.

Soak your clothes overnight in hot water. Hot water helps to release the grease.

Finally, spray your clothes with your favorite stain remover before throwing in the washing machine and running a cycle on hot.


Inspect your clothes to see if spots have been removed. If not, try running through the steps again. These khaki pants went from unwearable to stains being hardly noticeable. Did you get great results? Share your stories and photos with us!

Spring has sprung and Easter is around the corner! Such a fun time, filled with bright colors, candy, family, and more. It can also be a scary food time -- candy filled with corn syrup and other artificial ingredients, eggs dyed with petroleum products, and thousands of empty calories to name a few issues. I can't stop you from overindulging on your ham dinner, but I can help out reducing some of the artificial ingredients you're putting at your table this year. Colored Easter eggs have long been a staple at Easter time, whether you hide them for a Easter Egg hunt or put them out as decoration. Coloring Easter eggs is also just plain fun! That is until you start looking at what is in that dye you are using. Yellow 5, Red 40, blue 2.... Does that sound like something your body can digest well? If you dig a bit deeper you find that these colors are actually petroleum based and are known carcinogens. Yet we use these on food we are feeding our families. This year you can
