Gather Supplies
The most important tool to have when it comes to removing mouthwash stains is gentle detergent. You’ll also need a bucket or basin of cold water and a few clean white cloths. If the mouthwash has dried onto the shearling, you may need a soft-bristled brush, too.
Pre-Treat the Stain
Before you begin cleaning process, use a pre-treatment solution to help lift stain from the fabric. There are commercial pre-treating solutions available at most grocery stores. Another option is to mix a teaspoon of liquid dish soap with 2 cups of cold water. Dip a cloth into the solution to pre-treat the stained area.
Wash the Shearling
Once pre-treatment process is complete, it’s time to start washing shearling. Use mild detergent and cold water—never hot water—to avoid damaging the material. Use a damp cloth to gently scrub the stained area, then rinse with cold water.
Air Dry Fabric
Finally, let the shearling air dry. Avoid using heat or placing the fabric in the dryer; these methods will only damage the material further. Allow fabric to hang in a cool, well-ventilated area until it’s completely dry.
