Lipstick stains can ruin your favorite outfits, but an unusual kitchen item - plain white bread - offers an effective solution. This gentle method works especially well on delicate fabrics.

The Bread Removal Technique

  1. Use fresh white bread (crust removed)
  2. Gently dab the stain - don't rub
  3. Let it sit for 2 minutes to absorb oils
  4. Brush away bread crumbs
  5. Repeat if needed

Why Bread Works

  • Absorbs oily base of lipstick
  • Lifts pigment without spreading
  • Safe for most fabrics

For Tough Stains
Combine with:

  1. Drop of dish soap
  2. Cold water rinse
  3. Air dry

Fabric Precautions
Test on hidden area first for:

  • Silk
  • Wool
  • Dry-clean only items

Alternative Solutions

  • Baby wipes (for fresh stains)
  • Makeup remover (oil-based)
  • Rubbing alcohol (for cotton)

This unexpected trick saves clothes from permanent damage. Keep some bread in your laundry room for emergencies!
