Why Does Mouthwash Leave Stains on Linen?
Mouthwash is an essential part of many people's daily hygiene routine. While it can help freshen breath and keep your mouth healthy, it often contains ingredients that can be damaging to your laundry such as dyes, fragrances, and alcohols. When these ingredients come into contact with linen, they can leave behind permanent stains.
How to Clean Mouthwash Stains from Linen
The best way to prevent mouthwash stains from appearing on your linens is to rinse them immediately after coming in contact with mouthwash. As soon as you use mouthwash, take a cloth or towel and wipe off any residue that might be left behind. If the stain is already present, there are several steps you can take to remove it:
- If the area is still wet, rinse the linen in cold water to stop the staining process.
- Mix 2 tablespoons of dishwashing liquid with 1 cup of warm water.
- Dampen a clean cloth with the solution and dab the stained area gently.
- Once the stain is removed, rinse the linen in cold water and let it air dry.
If the above technique does not work, you can also try:
- Mix 1 tablespoon of white vinegar with 6 tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide.
- Using a clean cloth, gently rub the mixture into stained area.
- Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes before rinsing the area with cold water.
- Finally, machine wash the linen in cold water and air dry.
