Help! There’s a
LIPSTICK STAIN
on one of my
cloth napkins.
Is it ruined? — PAMP.
A: Not at all. And once you know
my little trick, you’ll kiss paper
napkins goodbye! Rubbing a
lipstick stain will only smear it and
push it deeper into the fabric,
so start by placing the napkin,
stain facedown, on a paper towel.
Gently dab the back of the stain
with a makeup-remover wipe. If
you can, squeeze a little liquid
from the wipe to help dissolve
the lipstick even faster. Keep
dabbing until the lipstick stops
transferring to the towel (you
may need a second wipe). And
don’t forget to rotate the paper
towel to a clean area as it absorbs
the lipstick so the stain won’t
transfer back. Next, rub in liquid
laundry detergent or apply a
prewash stain remover. Wash it in
the hottest water that’s safe for
the fabric with a fabric-safe
bleach. Finally, air-dry it until
you’re sure the stain is gone.

Just paint small, flat rocks
a metallic color, then let them dry
and add names with a paint pen.
