Carmex, a popular lip balm, is generally considered safe for use on clothing. However, it can stain fabric if left on too long or not washed out quickly enough. If Carmex gets onto clothes, act fast to remove the excess product and then pre-treat the area with a liquid detergent before laundering as normal. If you do this promptly after the spill occurs, there should be no trace of Carmex remaining in your clothes.
