Oil pastel stains are notoriously difficult to remove, but don't despair! The following tips will help you remove those stubborn stains with ease.
The Basics: Things You'll Need
- Baking soda
- A toothbrush
- Dishwashing liquid
- Clean cloth
Step 1: Blot the Stain
Start by gently blotting the stain with a clean cloth. Avoid rubbing cloth over the stained area, as this can spread the stain and make it worse.
Step 2: Make a Paste
Create a paste using baking soda and a few drops of water. Spread this paste over the stain and allow it to sit for 30 minutes.
Step 3: Scrub with a Toothbrush
Once the paste has had time to sit, scrub away the stain with a damp toothbrush. This should help to break up any remaining stain particles.
Step 4: Rinse with Water
Once you’ve scrubbed away the stain, rinse the affected area with cold water. Repeat until the stain is completely gone.
Step 5: Wash with Soap
Finally, lather up some dishwashing liquid and wash the stained area. Rinse with cold water and air dry.
With these simple steps, you should be able to get rid of any oil pastel stains on your favorite dress!
