DAWN dishwashing soap……..soap the hell out of it. You may need to run it through the wash a few times afterwards without detergent, so the soap is completely removed……then wash with laundry detergent. References :

First off "Chap-stick" is made of wax and contains dyes that are used in food products ex. Red No 1 Blue No 3 etc. As long as you havent dried the item then the best thing that you can do is to take a white cotton cloth and a WARM not hot iron(no steam), take the cloth and put it over the spots then apply the iron to the cloth…the heat will make the wax melt and it will be drawn into the cotton, secondly take a tooth brush and gently brush the spots to raise the tuft of the fabric and apply a small amount of pure detergent to the spot and let sit this should help to lift the dye out. then wash again….another alternative is to go to your local store to the cleaning aisle and buy some "lestoil" its around pinesol and whatnot…put this directly on the stain and let sit for several hours then rub and wash. lestoil can but is not likely to take colour out if the clothing has been washed several times and is fairly colourfast by now.

Try Dawn dishwashing detergent or Lestoil. Both have grease cutting properties. I use it full strength and then rub it in well with an old toothbrush. You may have to wash more than once, but don't dry it until after you get the stain out, as the heat may set it. References :

Put it on the kitchen counter. Fold 1 or 2 paper towels to make a thick pad. Place it under the stain of just 1 layer of cloth. Do the same for the upper layer of cloth so front and back of the stain have the "padding". Have your iron on medium-high heat and press the pads. You may have to move the pads or get fresh ones as they absorb the Chapstick. You need to melt the waxy stuff into the towels and
send me 35 e-dollars. (haha) References :
