LipStick Stains Off of Cups??

[belle&sebastiansmom]

I know ya'll are full of helpful ideas and tips on this board. So . . .

How do you get lipstick stains off of cups?

I never had this problem until I started using Mary Kay lipstick. Anyone else?

If I can't remove the stains then I'm going to have to get new glasses. My hubby doesn't want to use them and I'd certainly be embarrassed to offer anyone a drink if I invited them over.


Thanks.

That's weird? By my name you can tell I have some expertise in this area! I would try a degreasing soap like Dawn. Sticking them in the dishwasher probably won't do it....but try this also, run the hot water until it is steaming hot before you turn on the dishwasher. It actually does make a difference. Good luck and let us know what happens.

PS-Otherwise I do hope you like your new MK lipstick!

Salt works for tea stains, you might try it.

And if that doesn't work- maybe the Mr Clean magic eraser.

This may seem weird, but have you tried makeup remover? I know that's the only thing that will get the lipstick off me, so maybe it will work on the cup? If that doesn't work, I'd try a non-polar solvent like nailpolish remover (with acetone). If not that, then I'm stumped.

Ooohh, makeup remover, good idea!
