It's inevitable. Even the most careful of us will accidentally spill toothpaste on our favorite clothes every once in a while. If you're lucky, it's just a tiny spot and won't be that hard to treat. But if the toothpaste stains come into contact with certain items like delicate fabrics, leather, suede or fur, things can become more complicated.

Step 1: Scrape Excess Toothpaste

Firstly, use a butter knife or a spoon to carefully scrape off any excess toothpaste from the stain. Make sure not to press too hard or rub fabric, as this might cause the stain to spread even further.

Step 2: Soak Up With A Clean, White Cloth

Get a white cleaning cloth and soak it up in cold water. Make sure the cloth is soaked through, but not dripping. Then, apply it to the stain and press lightly to help absorb toothpaste.

Step 3: Pretreat With Mild Detergent

Using a gentle laundry detergent, pretreat the affected area directly with a few drops of detergent and some warm water. Work it into the fabric with your fingers and let it sit for 5-10 minutes.

Step 4: Rinse

Before going ahead with the full laundering process, rinse the stained area thoroughly with cold water. This will help to remove any residue left behind by the toothpaste and the detergent.

Step 5: Launder According To Instructions On Clothing Label

Once you've finished rinsing, it's time to throw the clothing into the washing machine. Make sure to follow the instructions on clothing label carefully, as there may be special guidelines regarding the type of detergent and temperature settings.

Step 6: Air Dry

Lastly, let the item dry naturally, as opposed to using a drying machine. This will help to prevent any color fading and will also speed up the process overall.

With these easy steps, you'll be able to get rid of toothpaste stains from your Marc Jacobs clothing in no time!
