Your Irish crochet pieces are too precious to take chances with — even if they sustained some wear and tear from toothpaste spills, you should still take steps to ensure the longevity of your crochet pieces.
Preventing Toothpaste Stains on Irish Crochet
When cleaning your Irish crochet pieces, prevention is key. If you want to avoid toothpaste stains, it’s important to use mild soaps or detergents when washing the pieces. Avoid using any products with harsh chemicals or abrasives, as these can erode the material and leave discoloration.
If you’re wary of toothpaste stains, opt for liquid or non-abrasive soap instead of tablets, and make sure to store your Irish crochet away from direct sunlight, as this can cause fading and discoloration.
Cleaning Toothpaste Stains on Irish Crochet
If your Irish crochet pieces have already been stained with toothpaste, don’t fret — there are several methods you can use to get rid of the unsightly mess.
Once you’ve soaked the piece in a detergent solution, use a toothbrush to gently scrub the area until stain has been removed. If the stain is more stubborn, try using a mixture of baking soda and water to create a paste, and use the paste to gently rub the stain away.
If all else fails, you can also try using lemon juice, vinegar, or hydrogen peroxide. All three of these products can help break down the stain and discoloration, and will keep your Irish crochet looking good as new.
Storing Irish Crochet After Cleaning Toothpaste Stains
Once you’ve successfully removed the toothpaste stain, it’s important to make sure the Irish crochet is correctly stored. As mentioned before, direct sunlight can cause further damage, so make sure the piece is kept out of direct sunlight or placed in a box or bag when not in use.
Additionally, make sure to use a gentle detergent when washing the piece and never dry clean them. Doing so will ensure that your Irish crochet pieces remain beautiful for years to come.
