So here’s something new I learned today: if you need to have a lipstick stain you want to remove — like, let’s say you have a dog, and maybe he isn’t very bright, and he likes to chew things, and maybe there’s a tween girl living in your home who has a tendency to leave things about, and maybe she’s getting into make-up a little and has a lipstick, and maybe the dog gets a hold of the lipstick, and maybe he chews it up and leaves red smears all over your living room carpet, just hypothetically speaking of course — take a rag or paper towel or sponge and put a little drop of dish soap on the stain and rub it in real good. The lipstick lifts right off! Lipstick is oil-based, and dish soap is specially formulated to dissolve oils, so that’s how it works. You don’t need water to life the stain, though you might want to use a wet rag to lift the dish soap.
