Step 1: Rinse the Stain in Cold Water

If the stain is still wet, the best thing you can do is get it under cold running water right away. This will help remove some of the toothpaste before it’s fully absorbed into the fabric.

Step 2: Apply a Stain Remover

There are many commercial stain treatments that can help with stubborn toothpaste stains. Simply follow the instructions listed on the package, and use a soft brush to gently rub the treatment into stain.

Step 3: Wash the Skirt as Normal

Once the any stain removers have been applied to the affected area, it should be washed as normal. Be sure to separate whites and colors in the washing machine, and check the stain when it comes out to ensure it has been completely removed before drying it.
