Maybe the wonderful OSers can help me - toothpaste stain on a knitted cotton top

Is there anything I can do? My favourite jumper and I got toothpaste on it, and it hasn't come off in the wash. I hate to say it but it almost looks like it's bleached the fabric - is there anything I can do? I will be gutted if it's ruined forever :(:(:(

    Try soaking it in some warm water and gently swishing plenty of water through it.
    Depending upon the toothpaste, it could have affected the fabric :(

    i was reading that it works for stains on clothes, but it may be too harsh for wool????
