Step 1: Blot the Stain

The first step to removing a mouthwash stain is to soak up as much of the liquid as you can. To do this, take a sponge or clean cloth and blot the area where the spill occurred. Be careful not to rub too hard or the fabric may become stretched and damaged.

Step 2: Create a Cleaning Solution

Using a bowl or jar, combine 3 parts cold water with 1 part white vinegar. Place some of solution onto a clean cloth and gently dab onto the stain, making sure not to rub or scrub the area. This should help to loosen and break down the stain.

Step 3: Rinse and Dry

Take a clean cloth and dampen it in cold water. Use the damp cloth to rinse away any remaining cleaning solution. Once the velvet has been rinsed, use a dry cloth to blot area until it is dry. Repeat these steps if the stain is still present.

Final Tips

Always test a small portion of the fabric before using any cleaning solution to make sure it’s colorfast.
Avoid using hot water or harsh chemicals as they may damage the fabric.
When blotting or rinsing, always work from the outside of stain to the inside to avoid spreading the stain.
