Help! chapstick in the washer
So my DH decided to be helpful and do a load of laundry. He threw some of his clothes in with mine, and, long story short - didn't check his pockets.
Turns out there was a chapstick in one of his pockets, and now a few things have spotted oily marks on them. (Mainly 2 pairs of Khaki work pants - both cotton)
So, are my clothes salvageable? How can I try and get these marks out?
Thanks in advance!

Re: Help! chapstick in the washer
Chapstick is an oil based product, so you should be able to get it out.
In the laundry aisle of your grocery store, there's a product called Lestoil. It looks like a bottle of vegetable oil and it'll be buried somewhere. It definitely will not have the prime eye-level, center shelf placement. Lestoil is really good at getting oil based stains out of laundry. Just follow the directions on the bottle.

It used to happen to me all the time. I use palmolove dish soap. I actually keep it on hand just for this problem. Because it is an oil based product, the dish saop that helps with the grease, helps get the stains out. Works almost off of the time...depending on fabric. Works on my cotton...
Note: It may take two washings, DO NOT dry the clothes in between. Drying sets the stain and makes it harder to remove. Good Luck!
