The first thing you need to do is pre-treat the oil pastel stains on your Marc Jacobs. To do this, take a damp cloth and dab it onto stained area. This should help to loosen up stain and make it easier to remove. After dabbing with the cloth, use a lint roller to lift off as much of oil pastel as possible.
Once you’ve pre-treated the oil pastel stains, next step is to apply a detergent solution directly onto the stained area. Mix together some laundry detergent with warm water and create a liquid solution that’s thick enough to stick to the surface of your Marc Jacobs. Allow the solution to sit for around 10 minutes before scrubbing or blotting with a clean cloth.
If the oil pastel stains still remain after you’ve pre-treated and treated with detergent, you may need to soak the Marc Jacobs in an Oxi-Clean solution. Begin by mixing together Oxi-Clean powder with warm water to create a paste-like solution. Place your Marc Jacobs in the mixture, making sure that all parts of the garment that need treating are submerged in the solution. Let the garment soak for at least 30 minutes before rinsing with cold water and air-drying.
Never do laundry again. Save time for things you ❤️
