WD-40 for Lip Balm stains

To remove lip balm that has melted onto your clothes in the dryer, place the stained surface down on pad of paper towels, spray with WD-40, let stand a few minutes, turn fabric over and spray the other side.

Apply liquid dishwashing detergent and work into the stained area, replacing towelling as it absorbs the stain. Wash in hottest water possible with laundry detergent and bleach and rinse in warm water.

Special Note: If the clothes went through the dryer-Clean the drum of your dryer to remove any remaining wax residue. Spray a soft cloth with WD-40, and wipe the drum. Run a load of dry rags through a drying cycle to ensure that your drum is clean.

I tried this step by step for two of the four pairs of dockers that were washed with carmex. Now I have wd-40 stains and carmex stains.
