Removing Toothpaste Stains Without Making Them Worse

Toothpaste can leave behind unsightly white stains that can be difficult to remove without making them worse. Here’s what you should do:

  • First, blot the stained area with a damp cloth to remove as much excess toothpaste as possible.
  • Mix together a solution of warm water and a few drops of laundry detergent, then gently dab stained area with the soapy water.
  • Rinse cloth and wring it out until it is just damp, then use it to rinse away the soapy residue.
  • If the stain persists, mix one part white vinegar with two parts water in a spray bottle and spray the stained area. Make sure that the fabric is completely saturated.
  • Allow the vinegar solution to sit on the stain for a few minutes before rinsing it away with a wet cloth.
  • Once the stain is gone, hang your trench coat in sun to dry.

Cleaning Toothpaste Stains Safely

It is important to remember that some fabrics are more delicate or sensitive than others. When cleaning toothpaste stains from a trench coat, it is always best to use the gentlest method first. If the simple method of blotting, soapy water, and vinegar does not work, you may need to take your trench coat to a dry cleaner who specializes in removing tough stains.
