A chapstick in the laundry bag left a big oil stain on my husband's pants. Is there a way to get it out?




Yikes! This is a tough one. Salvaging the pants really depends on how long it was before you discovered the Chapstick. If you only washed the pants (meaning you didn't put them in the dryer or allow them to air-dry), there may still be some hope. Use a grease-fighting agent, like Spray 'n Wash Grease 'n Grass Stain Remover, and follow the directions on the bottle. Then wash in the hottest temperature safe for the fabric, and let the pants air-dry. If the stain is still there, try again. The oil spot may never go away completely, but it might become more subtle.

If you've washed and dried the pants (especially if you already put them in the dryer), it's probably time to cut your losses and buy DH a new pair. You can try the above technique, but chances are those pants are stained for good.
