to not know how to remove this stain (HELP!)

[FlappicusSmith]

DD's friend got lipstick (I think) on DD's brand new Stackers jewellery box. It's made of 'fake leather'. DD is distraught. I'm annoyed. I've tried soapy water (washing up liquid) and a make-up remover wipe, but no joy. What else can I try?? It's a pale pink colour, so the lipstick mark is really obvious :( . I don't have any hairspray, which I've seen suggested online.

It's this material

(And p.s I know not a real AIBU, but posting here for traffic out of desperation)

Rubbing alcohol is my go to for difficult stains.

It takes biro out of clothing (and a jacket) so I'm sure this would work.

Onto to cotton wool and dab it.

Neat washing up liquid can work. There's probably a stain devil for lipstick. Don't whatever you do heat it up, heat sets the pigment although will remove the oil/grease.

Nail polish remover might do it, but I’d test whether it’s safe on the faux leather on a hidden area first.

have you tried coconut oil lipstick is oil based and so it should act as a dilution agent!

White vinegar? Maybe diluted

I think that would damage the plastic.

These are all such good suggestions. I'd start with bicarb/talc for its very fine scrubbing/absoprtion properties and then rubbing alcohol.

My tip for clothing stains is the usual hot water/dishsoap/vinegar solution, but you're dealing with something different here and I am interested to find out how it turns out! Please do update

WD40 is what you need. It may sound weird but trust me it will work.

A few years ago my dd got artist oil pastels on a brand new light coloured carpet, I was absolutely distraught, however I was advised to dab it with a cloth and wd40 and amazingly it came out, I worried it would leave grease mark but it was fine.

I’d give it a go, I think it should work.

If all else fails and the stain is only on one section, you can buy the layers individually on Amazon for £20. By the time you’ve bought multiple different cleaning items, it might actually be cheaper just to buy the new tray?

I haven't been brave enough to tackle it yet! Will update when I do

It's the top layer, but yes, I suppose if that's the last option...

I absolutely do not think I have the balls to put WD40 on it! But if all else fails, maybe I'll try spot-checking it on the back or bottom. I really can't believe that it isn't going to leave an oily mark. But then again, my dad used to swear on WD40 as the solution to pretty much everything

@FlappicusSmith I felt exactly the same, but my carpet was fine.

savon de Marseille gets any stain out of everything. Alternatively try sommelier clay powder
