Removing Fresh Oil Pastel Stains
- Firstly, you should use a clean cloth and mild detergent to dab the stained area gently. Try to work in circular motions until you have completely covered the affected area with the mild detergent and water.
- Once the stain has been covered with the mild detergent, allow it to dry naturally.
- If the stain is still present, then you can use a mixture of one spoon of baking soda and two spoons of water. Mix the two ingredients together and apply paste to the stained area. Again, allow it to dry naturally.
- Finally, rinse area with clean cold water and dry it with a soft cloth.
