Just remember you need to do two things -- remove the oily greasy residue part of the stain, and also the colored part of the stain.

The colored part of the stain is more significant if you have a tinted chapstick, like a cherry chapstick stain, or a pink tinted lip balm stain, for example.

Below are step by step instructions for removing a chapstick stain from clothing, upholstery and carpet.

Removing Chapstick Stains On Clothing

Step 1: Scrape as much excess chapstick off the fabric as possible, without smearing it further.

Step 2: Rub a small amount of hand dishwashing soap into the fabric where the stain is.

Step 3: Rinse the stained area well, flushing away both the grease from the chapstick and the dishwashing liquid solution.

Step 4: Pretreat the stain with a laundry prewash stain remover.

Step 5: Launder in the hottest water the fabric will allow to get out the stain, and either chlorine bleach if the fabric will allow it, or color bleach if not.

Hint: Make sure the stain is gone after washing, but before you place in the dryer or you may set the stain. Repeat if necessary.

If this does not work, you can also try blotting dry cleaning solvent on the stain. Once the stain is removed launder as usual.

Chapstick Stain Removal From Couch And Other Upholstery

Step 1: Scrape as much excess chapstick off the upholstery as possible, without smearing it further.

Step 2: For the chapstick still remaining take a clean white cloth and sponge the stain with a dry cleaning solvent.

Hint: First, be sure to test this solvent on an inconspicuous area of the upholstery to make sure it is safe.

Step 3: Next, blot at the stain until the solvent is absorbed.

Step 4: Repeat steps 2-3 until the stains are removed from the upholstery.

If that does not work you can mix a solution of two cups cool water and one tablespoon dishwashing liquid, and using this solution, sponge the stain with a clean white cloth, blotting at the solution until the liquid is absorbed, and the stain removed.

Once the stain from the chapstick is gone use plain cold water and a new white cloth and sponge the area to remove the cleaning solution, and then blot dry.

Hint: Be sure to get the upholstery only as wet as necessary to remove the stain caused by the chapstick.
