If you’ve recently used mouthwash and then accidentally washed your sports bra with it, you might be dealing with stubborn mouthwash stains. Unfortunately, this type of stain can be difficult to remove, as it can actually dye fabric. However, there are a few methods you can try to lift the water-soluble mouthwash stains from the fabric.
Method One: Use a Detergent Solution
Mix one tablespoon of all-purpose colorless detergent in one quart of lukewarm water. Soak a cloth or sponge in detergent solution and gently dab the area with stained sports bra. Rinse the stained area with clean water and repeat the process until the stain is gone. Once you’re satisfied, launder the sports bra for an extra deep cleaning.
Method Two: Try Specialized Stain Removers
If you’re still dealing with mouthwash stains even after trying the detergent solution, you may need to use specialized stain removers instead. Try soaking the stained area in a commercial pre-treatment stain remover, like Shout or Spray ‘n Wash, for 30 minutes before laundering. You can also dab on a small amount of rubbing alcohol to area and let it sit for five minutes before washing. Be sure to follow the instructions on the bottle, as these products contain powerful chemicals that could cause damage if not used properly.
Conclusion
Mouthwash stains on sports bras can be a tricky issue to deal with, but when armed with the right knowledge and supplies, they don’t have to be a permanent problem. Try using a detergent solution and specialized stain removers to get your sports bras looking like new again!
