Before you can start cleaning an oil pastel stain, you need to identify the type of fabric your clothing is made out of. Different fabrics require different cleaning methods. For example, delicate fabrics like silk or wool require gentler cleaning solutions than something like denim or cotton. Check care label on your garment for washing instructions.
Once you’ve identified the fabric type, you can apply a stain remover specifically designed to tackle oil pastel stains. Use a gentle cleaning solution that’s safe for the fabric. Allow the solution to sit on the stain for the recommended time, then rinse garment with cold water.
When dealing with stubborn oil pastel stains, pretreating area can help loosen stain before laundering. First, moisten the stained area with a damp cloth. Then, rub a small amount of liquid detergent onto the stain and allow it to soak for a few minutes. Rinse off the detergent and launder the garment, following the care instructions on the label.
If the stain isn't completely removed after laundering, repeat the above steps until the stain has been completely removed. If the stain persists, try using a solvent-based cleaner on the stained area. Be sure to follow the product's instructions exactly, as some solvents can damage certain types of fabrics.
Once the stain has been removed and the garment has been laundered, let it air dry. Do not put the garment in the dryer, as this could set the stain. Instead, hang garment up or lay it flat to dry.
Oil pastel stains can be difficult to remove from Calvin Klein clothes, but with right cleaning products and techniques, it is possible. By following the steps in this guide, you can help restore your garments to their original glory.
