Steps For Cleaning Oil Pastel Stains From Robes
- Start by mixing one part stain remover powder with four parts warm water in a bowl. Mix it until it creates a thick paste.
- Using a soft brush, rub the paste onto the stained area and let it soak in for about 15 minutes.
- After 15 minutes, use another brush dipped in warm water to rub at the stained area. This will help to lift out the stain.

Additional Tips for Removing Oil Pastel Stains from Robes
- Test the stain remover powder on a small area of the robe before using it on entire fabric. This will ensure that the color won’t bleed.
- If the stain remains, try using a different stain remover powder. Some stains may require a stronger cleaning product.
- Avoid using bleach or any other harsh chemical cleaners as they could damage the fabric.
- It’s always best to treat stains as soon as possible. The longer they stay on the robe, harder they will be to remove.
