Follow these steps to remove lipstick stains from Fur (natural or synthetic), Leather, Suede:

• Gently scrape (the method of using a dull tool to gently lift off excess solid or caked-on stains) to remove excess lipstick.
• Wipe stain with a cloth dipped in the suds of a mild detergent and water.
• Wipe with a clean dry cloth.
• If a grease stain remains, powder the stain with an absorbent such as cornmeal. Give it plenty of time to work.
• Gently brush (the method of using a stiff-bristled brush to sweep staining material up onto a piece of paper) it out. Repeat if necessary.
• As a last resort, dip a cloth in a solvent such as Afta Cleaning Fluid and dab gently at stain. Do not rub.
• On leather only, follow with cleaners such as Tannery Vintage Leather Cleaner & Conditioner or Fiebing's Saddle Soap to condition the leather.
