The type of fabric the Gucci item is made from will determine the best method for cleaning toothpaste stains. Here are some tried and tested methods for four of the most common fabric types which Gucci often uses:
These fabrics are fairly robust and can handle some gentle abrasive cleaning with a stiff brush. Start by dabbing the stain with a cloth dipped in warm soapy water. Then, use a soft bristled brush to scrub affected area. Finish by rinsing with another damp cloth and leave to air dry.
Polyester fabric is more delicate so harsher cleaning methods should be avoided. Start by dabbing the stain with a cloth dipped in warm soapy water. Then, mix a solution of 1 part white vinegar and 2 parts warm water, and apply it directly to the stained area. Allow it to soak in for several minutes, then rinse off with a damp cloth and leave to air dry.
Silk is a delicate fabric that requires a different approach. The best way to clean a toothpaste stain from silk is to use a diluted enzyme cleaner such as Bio-Kleen or NaturOli Soap Nut Liquid. Mix a solution of equal parts enzyme cleaner and warm water and apply it directly to stained area. Let it sit for several minutes, then rinse with a damp cloth and leave to air dry.
Leather needs to be treated gently, so vigorous scrubbing should be avoided. Start by dabbing stain with a cloth dipped in warm water and a mild detergent. Then, use a soft bristled brush to gently scrub the affected area. Finally, rinse with a damp cloth and leave to air dry.
Following these simple steps should help you remove those pesky toothpaste stains from your Gucci. With regular cleaning and care, you’ll be able to keep your Gucci looking good for years to come.
