Before attempting to clean, it's important to understand the stain itself. Toothpaste is composed of several ingredients, such as abrasive particles, an emulsifier, and an antibacterial agent. All of these need to be taken into account when cleaning. Careful attention must be paid to the type of Piqué fabric as well, as different fabrics require different methods.

Cleaning Piqué Fabrics: Step-by-Step Guide

  • Using a dry cloth or brush, gently rub away as much of the toothpaste from the fabric as you can.
  • Mix a solution of warm water and white vinegar with a few drops of mild, liquid dishwashing detergent. Using a clean cloth, dip it in the solution and blot stain with it.
  • If the stained area has already been treated with a product to remove the toothpaste, use a clean cloth soaked in plain water to rinse area. Do not use hot water, as this can set the stain.
  • Once the stain has been removed, use a clean cloth dampened with cool water to rinse the area.
  • Allow the stain to air dry. Do not put the fabric in a dryer, as the heat may set stain.

If the above method doesn't work, professional stain removal services can help. Alternatively, contact the manufacturer of the fabric to ask for their advice on the best way to clean their specific product.
