Gather Your Stain-Removing Supplies

To remove mouthwash stains from your traditional dress, you'll need the following:

Salt
White vinegar
Lemon juice
Baking soda
Clean white cloth
Sponge

Rinse Out the Stain

Having a mouthwash stain doesn't mean that you need to clean it right away — delaying a few minutes can make it easier to remove the stain. Rinse out stained area with cool water until it's wet but not soaked. This will help dilute the mouthwash and make it easier to wash away the stain.

Mix Up a Stain Remover

Create a paste-like solution by combining equal parts of salt and white vinegar in a bowl. Squeeze a dash of lemon juice into the mixture and stir everything together until it's even. Then, apply paste to the stained area and let it sit for about 10 minutes.

Scrub and Rinse the Stain

Take a clean cloth or sponge and gently scrub the stain using the paste solution. You may need to repeat this process a few times to completely remove the stain. Once the stain is gone, rinse off the paste with cool water and let the area dry.

Use Baking Soda For Extra Cleaning Power

If the mouthwash stain still hasn't disappeared after you've scrubbed it with a cloth or sponge, try adding baking soda to the mix. Make a paste with baking soda and white vinegar, and use a cloth or sponge to apply it to stain. Let it sit for 10 minutes before scrubbing and rinsing with cool water. This should help get rid of any remaining mouthwash stains.
