How can you remove lipstick stains from carpets or rugs?

Answer 1

Lipstick is an oil-based, greasy product. To clean it, you need something to combat the grease. Depending on the material, options are alcohol, dishwashing detergent, ammonia and hair spray. With alcohol, let the stain soak it up, don't rub, then blot out with a cloth. With dishwashing detergent, put some detergent on the stain, let it sit for ten minutes, then gently start cleaning the stain from the outside in. With ammonia, put it on the stain, dab with a cotton cloth until the stain fades, then use water or a mixture of both. With hair spray, spray it on, let it sit for fifteen minutes, then use a cloth with warm water to wipe the stain out. For all methods: repeat if necessary, or try another solution.

Answer 2

To remove lipstick stains from carpets or rugs, you can use a mixture of dish soap and water to blot the stain. Alternatively, you can try using a carpet stain remover or white vinegar mixed with water. Gently blot the stain with a clean cloth until the lipstick is lifted from the fabric.
