Take note
Be cautious when handling cleaning agents and follow safety instructions. Test any cleaning solutions on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure they won't damage the fabric or surface.

1

Scrape off excess lollipop

Using a plastic spoon or dull knife, carefully scrape off any excess lollipop residue from the affected area. Be gentle to avoid spreading the stain further.

2

Pre-treat the stain

Dampen a clean cloth with cold water and gently blot the stained area to help loosen the sticky residue. Avoid rubbing, as it may push the stain deeper into the fabric.

3

Apply a stain remover

For washable fabrics, apply a small amount of liquid laundry detergent or stain remover directly onto the stain. Rub the solution into the fabric using your fingers or a soft brush. Let it sit for a few minutes to penetrate the stain.

4

Machine wash or hand wash

Follow the garment's care instructions and wash it in the washing machine on the appropriate setting. If the fabric is not machine washable, gently hand wash the item using cold water and mild detergent.

5

Inspect the stain before drying

After washing, check if the stain has been completely removed. If any residue remains, repeat steps 3 and 4 before drying.

6

Air dry or tumble dry

Allow the item to air dry or tumble dry on a low heat setting, depending on the fabric. Avoid drying completely if the stain is still visible, as heat can set the stain.

7

Check for any lingering stain

Once dry, check the stain again. If traces of the lollipop stain persist, repeat the process or consider using a specialized stain remover for the specific fabric type.
