Lipstick marks don't have to ruin your clothing or upholstery. In this video, Eric Stromer offers up three great ways to removing those stubborn stains: toothpaste, alcohol and hairspray. That's right, the common household products do wonders in helping to dissolve lipstick, so before you throw away that shirt, try one of these stain-fighting methods.

Step 1: The Toothpaste Method
Toothpaste can be your best friend when it comes to lipstick stains. Choose a white paste (not a gel!) and work a little bit into the stain. Blot off the excess and rinse it in the sink.

Step 2: The Alcohol Method
Another way to remove lipstick stains is to dab them with alcohol. If you don't have alcohol, you can also try hairspray. Rinse with cold water.
