Act fast – fresh stains are easier to remove
Got lipgloss on your favorite jeans? Don’t panic! Let me show you how to get lipgloss out of jeans without ruining them. I’ve been there – reaching into your pocket and finding a sticky mess, or sitting on a forgotten tube. The good news? You can fix this at home.
How to Get Lipgloss Out of Jeans
Here’s what works, from my own messy experiences:
- The Freeze Method
- Put ice cubes in a plastic bag
- Hold it on the stain for 5 minutes
- Scrape off hardened gloss with a butter knife
- Works on cargo pants too!
- Dish Soap Solution
- Mix warm water with a drop of dish soap
- Dab the mix on the lip gloss stain
- Use a clean cloth to blot, don’t rub!
- Repeat until the stain lifts
- Laundry Pre-Treatment
Your washed clothes might still show traces of gloss. Try this:
- Use a stain remover stick
- Let it sit for 15 minutes
- Wash your pants as usual
- Check before drying – heat sets stains!
My #1 Trick for Tough Stains
Sometimes lip products are stubborn on clothes. Here’s my secret weapon:
Baby powder + dish soap paste
- Mix equal parts
- Apply to the stain
- Let sit for 30 minutes
- Wash your jeans normally
This works on any pair of pants, not just jeans!
What Not to Do
❌ Don’t use hot water – it sets the stain
❌ Avoid rubbing – it spreads the gloss
❌ Skip the dryer until the stain is gone
Quick Tips for Different Fabrics
| Fabric Type | Best Method |
|---|---|
| Denim | Ice + dish soap |
| Light cotton | Baby powder first |
| Dark jeans | Test spot first! |
Prevention Is Key
Keep your lip gloss from meeting your jeans:
- Use a separate pocket for gloss
- Check seats before sitting
- Keep wipes handy for quick cleanup
Your jeans and lip gloss can live in peace! Just act fast when spills happen. And if you’re buying new pants, maybe skip the white ones if you’re a gloss fan like me.
