I just washed a pair of pants with some lip balm in the pocket … the washing didn’t cause any problems, but drying caused the lip balm to melt … and stain just about everything that was light in color in the load.
I’m not sure how I’m going to get the stuff out … or if it’s even possible. Maybe “Shout” will get it out (I made a rhyme, just in time).
spray WD40 on the spots, Rub it in good, Then pour a little liquid dishwashing detergent on the spot, wash and it will be good as before.
I did that once with Chap Stick. Not cool.
