What Causes Mouthwash Stains on Masks?
Mouthwash contains ingredients such as alcohol, pigments and flavorings that can seep into fabric and cause staining, particularly if not washed right away. Colorants in certain types of mouthwash are known to be particularly prone to staining a mask.
How to Clean Mouthwash Stains from Masks?
Fortunately, there is an easy way to get rid of the stains left behind by mouthwash! You’ll need to use an appropriate cleaning agent, preferably one that is formulated specifically for removing stains from fabric. A wash-in type product is ideal, as it can be used directly in the washing machine.
- Start by soaking the stained area in cold water for up to 10 minutes.
- Apply a small amount of detergent or other cleaning agent and rub it gently, using a toothbrush, into the fabric.
- Rinse the fabric with cold water to remove any traces of the cleaner, then launder it as usual.
- Once the cycle is complete, allow the mask to air dry completely before using it again.
Conclusion
By following the steps outlined above, you can easily remove mouthwash stains from your masks. If the stains still remain, you may need to repeat process or use a stronger cleaning agent.
