How Do You Remove Toothpaste From Clothing?
Many toothpastes contain titanium dioxide powder which is what makes them white. When it gets on clothing, it is impossible to dissolve without the presence of a detergent. This is why it comes out easily in the washing machine, but not when you blot it with a wet cloth. Fortunately, if you can clean the spot a little more thoroughly, it can be removed without laundering the entire piece. You Will Need: • Mild laundry detergent • Soft cloths • Water • Stain treatment Steps to Remove the Toothpaste: • Moisten a soft cloth with water and blot the stained area. • Mix a few drops of laundry detergent with a cup of water. (Stain remover can be used in place of the laundry detergent.) • Dip the cloth in the sudsy water and gently blot/scrub the toothpaste area. • Once the detergent penetrates the toothpaste stain, it should release and be removed. • Blot with water to rinse. • Allow the spot to dry.
