Step 1: Gather Materials

To clean your sandals, you'll need a small bowl, a toothbrush, and one of following cleaning solutions:

White vinegar
Dish soap
Baking soda and warm water
Hydrogen peroxide

Step 2: Prepare Solution

Once you've decided which cleaning solution to use, mix a few drops of the liquid with warm water in your bowl, creating a paste-like substance. You will use this paste to scrub away the stains on your sandals.

Step 3: Apply Cleaning Solution

Using your toothbrush, gently scrub your sandals with the paste. Try to focus on the stained areas, but don't be too rough with the material. If necessary, add a few more drops of the cleaning solution to the paste for extra cleaning power.

Step 4: Rinse with Water

Once you're satisfied with your scrubbing, rinse the sandals with warm water to remove any remaining residue. Make sure to get into all the crevices and grooves of sandal.

Step 5: Let Air Dry

After rinsing your sandals, let them air dry. Avoid placing them directly in the sun, as the heat may cause the material to become brittle or faded.

And You're Done!

Now your sandals are good as new! With these 5 easy steps, you can remove any stubborn mouthwash stains from your favorite sandals.
