Problem: How to remove lipstick from carpet
Remove large pieces of lipstick.
Use a spoon or dull knife to carefully scrape and remove any large pieces of lipstick from the carpet. Try to avoid pushing the pieces further into the carpet. OPTIONS:

- Test a cleaning product on a corner of your carpet. Lipstick stains attach to the carpet fibers with grease, so you will need a cleaning product that dissolves grease or oils.
- Use a q-tip or fluffiness pad to wipe away any large bits of lipstick. It is possible that a small amount of lip glitter may even come out during this process.
- If lipstick eventually begins to clump on the carpet, it could cause a stain or even the color to fade dramatically. This may be especially noticeable with wine stains, scuff marks, or other areas where excess lipstick has spilled.
