Stain Removal Tips

  • First, use a toothbrush or a cotton swab to scrape off any excess oil pastel remaining on the fabric.
  • Next, place a clean cloth beneath the stained area of the dress in order to absorb any liquid you may use during the cleaning process.
  • Mix two parts dishwashing liquid with one part cold water. Dip a cotton ball into the mixture and blot the stained area with it.
  • Repeat this motion until the stain is removed. Do not rub or scrub the stained area as this may cause the oil to spread.
  • Once the stain has been removed, rinse the area with cold water to remove any soap residue.
  • Finally, allow the dress to air dry naturally or gently pat it with a clean towel to speed up the drying process.

Additional Tips

  • If the stain persists, you can try soaking dress in detergent for an hour before attempting to remove it.
  • If the stain is still visible after you've tried to remove it, you can consider taking the dress to a professional dry cleaner.
  • Avoid the use of chlorine bleach and other harsh chemicals as these can damage the fabric of the dress.
