I need easy ways to remove rust and lipstick stain from clothes?

thanks so much.I need easy ways to remove rust and lipstick stain from clothes?
The best way to get rust stains out of your clothing is to use a lemon, or table salt and cream of tarter.





Lemon





•To use a lemon, lay your garment on a flat surface on top of a towel.





•Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice onto the rust stain. (If you do not have a lemon, you can use bottled lemon juice, it works just as well.)





•Lay your garment in the sun and allow it to dry.





•Once your garment has dried, look to see if the rust stain has lifted. If it has not, repeat the process.


•If the rust stain is removed, launder your garment.





You can get rid of lipstick stains by applying some non-gel toothpaste to the mark. Rub the toothpaste well into the garment, then wash as usual.





If this doesn´t work, try using a dry-cleaning solvent. To do this, put the item down on an old towel, apply the solvent and use an edge of the towel to soak up solvent and stain. Launder as usual. If any color remains, try using ammonia and water...I need easy ways to remove rust and lipstick stain from clothes?

Always begin with the easiest method. Put several pieces of paper towels or an old rag behind the clothing of where the rust stain is. Cover the stain generously in lemon juice (bottled or fresh), do not dilute.

Remove Lipstick Stains From Fabric





Things You’ll Need:





White Soft Dry Cloth


Denatured Alcohol


Stain Brushes


Stain Removers


Dishwashing Liquid








Step1


Dab stain very lightly with denatured alcohol using a soft, white cloth.





Step2


Rub dishwashing detergent gently into the stain with your finger.





Step3


Try using a stain stick and leaving it on for several minutes before washing, if the mark is stubborn.





Step4


Wash fabric as usual. It would be best to air dry the garment so that the stain does not set in. This way you can take it to the dry cleaner if it does not come out.





Step5


Ask your dry cleaner for help if all else fails.

Tips :





If you are out and don't have access to alcohol, leave the stain alone until you get home. If you're desperate, try dabbing it with cold water.





Remember to dab, not rub, as rubbing can ground in the stain.





Remember if a fabric is dry clean only it is best to take it to your dry cleaner. Do not pretreat. Pretreating can make the cleaning process hard for your cleaners and hinder them from removing the stain for you.
If the above home remedies don't work, and I hope they do, two stain removal products you should have on hand are Whink Rust Remover (brown bottle) and Motsenbocker's Lift Off (available at hardware stores, Home Depot, etc) Lift Off has 5 different formulas for various products, but numbers 1,2 and 3 easily cover 99% of a household stains. There's a nifty little kit with all three products which is idea! It's either #1 or #2 that specifies it removes lipstick.
TRY WD-40!!!





Check-it-out on their website... but it is an AWESOME product! I don't get paid for 'endorsing' it... but, it WORKS for ME!!!

The lipstick can be remove with dishes detergent, to remove the rust call a dry cleaning supplier and ask for rust-go, it will come pretty easy. I am a dry cleaner.
