How do I get melted lip balm out of clothes after the dryer?

Our answer

Harden with ice, scrape gently, then pre-treat oily residue with dishwashing liquid before washing; never re-dry until the stain is gone.

Why this approach makes sense

The correct treatment depends on fibre, dye and care label. Heat or abrasive treatment can make some damage permanent.

Before you try it

Test a small area first and avoid repeating treatment if the fabric changes colour or texture.
