How to you get Chap Stick that went thru the washing machine & dryer out of clothes. Is there a remover?

Answer 1

Chap stick is just wax, so it should come right out without doing anything special. I have accidently washed mine numerous times.

If you re-run the wash with regular detergent it should come right out. Running the wash with warm or hot water should also help ease the removal if that is okay for your clothes.

Answer 2

Sounds stupid, but use WD-40. Sparay directly onto the fabric, throw back into the washer and wash it alone. It will be just like brand new. Also works on washed crayons and lipstick. Hope this helps!!

Answer 3

Try putting peroxide on the stain let it sit for at least ten minutes and then wash as normal.  And no it will not bleach your colored clothes.  If peroxide doesn't work try Dawn dish soap the same way.

Answer 4

Chap Stick - Always read and follow the care instructions and any warnings on the garment label. And, follow these General Rules for stain removal.

    * Saturate the areas with a pretreatment aerosol stain remover.

    * Wait several minutes for product to penetrate. Rub with heavy duty liquid detergent. Launder immediately.

    * If color stain remains, launder in chlorine bleach, if safe for the fabric, or in all fabric bleach. When using bleach always check an inside seam for colorfastness.

    * For extra heavy stains apply dry cleaning fluid to the back of the stain over white absorbent towels. Let dry, rinse and launder as above. (Carefully read and follow directions and cautions on dry cleaning fluid.)
