Mix baking soda and water into a paste and apply it to the stain. Let it sit for about 30 minutes and rinse off with warm water. If the stain persists, try scrubbing it gently with a soft brush or cloth.
Mix equal parts white vinegar and water in a spray bottle and spray it onto the stain. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes and rinse with cold water. If stain still won't budge, try mixing baking soda with the vinegar.
Dab some hydrogen peroxide onto the stain and let it sit for a few minutes. You should see the stain lightening. To remove the entire stain, rinse with warm water for a few minutes.
Pour a bit of rubbing alcohol directly onto the stain and dab it until the stain fades. This method works best on fresh stains. Once the stain is gone, rinse it off with cold water.
Mix together dish soap and white vinegar and rub the mixture onto the stain. Allow it to sit for a few minutes and then rinse with cold water.
If all else fails, apply some laundry detergent to the stained area and let it sit for 10-15 minutes. Then, use a toothbrush to gently scrub the stain away. Rinse off with cold water.
Removing toothpaste stains from a sleep shirt can be a challenge, but these tips should help you get the job done. With patience and a bit of elbow grease, your sleep shirt will be back to its original condition in no time.
