Put the scarf in a large bowl and cover it with cold water. Then, add some liquid dish soap and let the scarf soak for 15 minutes.
Take a soft cloth and gently rub the stained area. Rub in a circular motion and be careful not to rub too hard or the fabric could be damaged. Rinse the cloth regularly to remove any of the oil pastel stain.
Once all the visible stains have been removed, rinse the scarf in cold water. Then repeat the rubbing process if necessary before rinsing again.
Lay the scarf flat on a clean paper towel and let it air dry for 30 minutes. Once it's completely dry, it should be free from oil pastel stains.
