Chapstick Stains

My daughter is QUITE messy...and has a slight addiction to chapstick and any form of lipgloss. It doesn't just go on her lips...it also ends up on her clothes. I have had an awful time getting it out and had yet to succeed until now!! I had tried all of my normal efforts at getting it out...Shout, Goo Gone, carpet cleaner, and a few others but nothing worked. I did not know this, but did you know...dish washing soap does wonders!!! Makes sense, I guess, but I had never thought to try it before. No more hot pink chapstick stains in the jeans!!! I just poured a little bit on the stain, rubbed it in a little bit, let it sit for short time and then washed them. I was pretty excited when I pulled them out of the dryer the other day! One of the stains had also been "set" and that even came out. I'm guessing that this might work for other greasy stains as well??

Do you have any tricks up your sleeve for getting out stains?
