Poplin fabrics, such as cotton and polyester blends, are popular among clothing makers because they’re lightweight, wrinkle-resistant, and more durable than other fabrics. Unfortunately, they can also be stubborn and difficult to clean when stained. If you’ve discovered a mouthwash stain on any of your poplin fabrics, you don’t have to throw them away. Here is a step-by-step guide for erasing mouthwash stains from poplin fabrics:
- Rinse the stained area of the fabric under cold running water.
- Prepare a bleach solution by mixing 4 parts cool water with 1 part bleach. Avoid hot water, which can cause the stain to set permanently.
- Soak the stained area in bleach solution for up to 15 minutes, then rinse the fabric under cold running water again.
- If the stain remains, mix equal parts white vinegar and water and sponge the stain with solution.
- Allow the vinegar solution to sit on stain for up to 15 minutes, then rinse the fabric again.
- To remove any residual odor, wash the fabric in laundry detergent and warm water according to manufacturer’s instructions.
- Air dry the fabric or tumble dry on a low setting.
With right technique, removing mouthwash stains from poplin fabrics can be easy. Good luck!
