Step 1: Rinse Out Stain as Quickly as Possible

Wash out the area immediately with cold water. Be sure to use cold water and not hot, as this can actually set stain into the fabric. If necessary, rub the stain with your fingers while rinsing. Use a damp cloth if necessary. This will help to remove as much of the toothpaste as possible.

Step 2: Apply Laundry Detergent

Take a small amount of laundry detergent and work it into the stained area. Allow it to sit for a few minutes before washing. This will help to break down the toothpaste. For an extra boost, use a stain remover product instead of regular laundry detergent.

Step 3: Put it in the Washing Machine

If the stain hasn’t completely disappeared after Steps 1 and 2, you can try putting the clothing item in the washing machine. Make sure to turn the setting to “cold” and add some extra detergent. Allow the item to go through the entire cycle before checking on it. This should help to remove any remaining toothpaste stains from your clothing.
