Have your favourite calico shirt become the victim of a toothpaste stain? Don't worry! This efficient and easy guide will help you get rid of that unpleasant trace in 3 simple steps. All you need is some simple ingredients you probably already have in your pantry.
The first step of cleaning any stain is to enable the enzymatic action of baking soda. To do this, sprinkle a spoonful of baking soda on the affected area, let it sit for 5 minutes, and rub it over the stain. This will loosen the stain and make the fibres absorbent.
After fibres are ready to receive the treatment, pour on some hydrogen peroxide on stain. Let it sit for about 10 minutes and then use a clean cloth to dab away the peroxide and the stain. If stain seems to still be there, repeat process until it's gone.
The last step of the process is to finish the cleaning with a mild detergent. Before applying the detergent, make sure to rinse off the peroxide from the fabric. Apply detergent with a sponge and rub it gently over the area. Then, wash the item as usual in cold water with rest of your laundry.
With this simple 3-step trick, you can get rid of those unsightly toothpaste stains in no time! So the next time you need to clean your calico, take it easy - you got this covered!
Never do laundry again. Save time for things you ❤️
