What You'll Need:

  • Mouthwash
  • Soft cloths or sponges
  • Stain remover or laundry detergent (optional)
  • Bucket or tub for soaking

Instructions:

  1. Gently blot the area of the stain with a soft cloth or sponge that has been moistened with a few drops of the mouthwash. This will help lift the stain from the fabric of the toy.
  2. If necessary, apply a small amount of laundry detergent or stain remover directly to the stained area and let it sit for a few minutes.
  3. Fill a bucket or tub with a mixture of one part mouthwash and two parts warm water.
  4. Submerge the stained area of the toy in the mixture of mouthwash and water.
  5. Allow the toy to soak for 30 minutes and then remove it from the solution.
  6. Rinse the toy and allow it to air dry.

Tips and Warnings:

  • Always test the mouthwash and/or stain remover on a small, hidden area of the toy first to make sure it won't damage the fabric.
  • Be sure not to scrub too hard or you may damage the fabric on delicate toys.
  • Be sure to rinse the toy thoroughly after soaking to remove any excess mouthwash or detergent.
