Step 1: Select the Right Cleaning Formula

The first step to removing an oil pastel stain from a coat is to select the right cleaning formula. A good choice is a mild detergent or dishwashing liquid as these work well on most fabrics. You should test the product on an inconspicuous area first to make sure it does not damage the fabric.

Step 2: Apply the Cleaner to the Stained Area

Once you have chosen the right product, apply it directly to the stained area. Work the soap into the stain using a clean cloth or brush. For stubborn stains, you may need to use a stronger cleaner and stronger scrubbing action.

Step 3: Rinse and Check Stain

After the cleaner has been applied, rinse the coat with cool water. Check the stained area to make sure the stain has been removed. If it is still there, repeat the process until the oil pastel stain has been completely eliminated.

Step 4: Dry the Coat

Once oil pastel stain has been removed, it's important to dry the coat to prevent water spots. Hang it up or lay it flat to air dry, or use a low-temperature setting on a clothes dryer if necessary.

Conclusion

Oil pastel stains on coats can be a challenge to remove, but with the right cleaner and a bit of elbow grease, it can be done in no time. Just remember to test the cleaning product first and always make sure to dry the coat afterwards.
