If you have experienced the disappointment of crayon stains on your favorite Marc Jacobs clothing, you know the struggle. But before you immediately give up on the piece and relegate it to the back of your closet, take a few easy steps to remove the stains and restore your item.
The first step in cleaning crayon stains from a Marc Jacobs garment is to handle the stain as soon as possible. Promptly blot the area with a clean, damp cloth – avoid rubbing or scrubbing the stain or allowing area to dry. If you act quickly you may be able to simply wipe away the stain.
Next, try using a bit of laundry detergent as a pre-treatment. Apply a small amount directly to the stain and gently work it into fabric with your fingers or an old toothbrush. Then, rinse the pre-treated area with cold water to remove any residue. Finally, launder the fabric following the care instructions noted on the item's tag.
If the stain persists, you may need to seek out a stronger cleaning solution. Try soaking the item in a mixture of one part white vinegar and two parts cold water for 30 minutes and then repeating the detergent treatment followed by laundering as directed.
For tough, stubborn crayon stains, you may want to try applying a small amount of spot cleaner or bleach directly to the area and laundering according to the fabric's care instructions. Just be sure to spot test the solution on a hidden area of the garment first and read the directions carefully to prevent damage to the fabric.
By following these steps you may be able to salvage your favorite Marc Jacobs piece and restore it to its former glory. With a little bit of trial and error you should be back to rocking the stylish Marc Jacobs look again in no time.
