What You Need
- A soft cloth
- Dish soap
- White vinegar
- Baking soda
- Hydrogen peroxide
- A toothbrush
Step 1: Pre-Treat
Start by pre-treating the stain with a soft cloth soaked in water mixed with a few drops of dish soap. Gently dab away at stain until it isn’t as visible or intense. You may need to leave the solution on for a few minutes in order for it to work its magic.
Step 2: Create a Paste
Mix together equal parts of white vinegar and baking soda to form a paste. This is a natural solution to eliminating oil pastel stains. Apply the paste over the entire stained area and let it sit for about 20 minutes.
Step 3: Scrub Away the Stain
Using a toothbrush, gently scrub away the paste, which should take the oil pastel stain with it. It’s important to be careful with this step to avoid damaging your belt. If stain still remains, you can repeat pre-treatment and paste mixture steps to tackle it again.
Step 4: Use Hydrogen Peroxide
If steps above aren’t working, you can try using hydrogen peroxide to remove the remaining stain. This should do the trick! Make sure to follow the instructions on the hydrogen peroxide bottle carefully, as it is a powerful solution that can cause further damage if not handled correctly.
