Toothpaste staining can be tricky to clean, especially when item you're cleaning is made of delicate fabric such as a raincoat. To get started, you need to identify and assess stain, then gather the necessary supplies.

Assess the Stain

To begin, examine the stain and think about how long it has been there, and how much of the fabric has been stained. If the stain is still fresh, it may be easier to remove than an older, set-in stain.

Gather Necessary Supplies

Once you have identified and assessed stain, you need to gather the supplies you will need for the job. You will need a mild detergent, a soft cloth, warm water, a sponge, and a stain remover.

Apply Detergent

Next, you will need to apply a mild detergent to the affected area. Make sure to use a gentle scrubbing motion as you apply detergent, so that it can penetrate the fabric. When finished, rinse the fabric with warm water to remove any excess detergent.

Remove Stain

Once the detergent has been applied and rinsed, it is time to apply the stain remover. Carefully follow the instructions on the label to make sure you are using the product properly. You may want to use a soft cloth or sponge to help you remove the stain.

Rinse & Repeat

If the stain remains after you have finished using the stain remover, you may want to repeat the process until the stain is completely gone. You may need to rinse raincoat with warm water and apply detergent again before applying the stain remover once more.

Final Rinse

Once you have removed the stain, make sure to give your raincoat a final rinse with clean, warm water. This will help to remove any remaining detergent or stain remover residue. Allow raincoat to dry naturally and enjoy the results!
