Step One: Blot Stain
The first step is to blot the area with a dry white cloth. Do not rub the fabric, as this will only spread stain. Instead, lightly press the cloth against stained area and blot gently. This may remove some of the oil pastel, but you may need to take further action if it doesn't completely remove the stain.
Step Two: Apply Soap and Water Solution
Combine a few drops of mild detergent with a cup of warm water, and mix until suds form. Apply the solution to stained area using a clean white cloth, then use a second cloth to gently dab the area and remove the excess liquid. Do not scrub the fabric, as this may cause the stain to spread.
Step Three: Use Rubbing Alcohol
If the stain is still present, try applying a small amount of rubbing alcohol to a clean white cloth, then dab it onto the stained area. Again, do not scrub the fabric, and make sure to use a dry cloth to remove any excess liquid. If the stain has been removed, rinse the area with cold water and blot dry.
Step Four: Rinse and Dry
Once the stain has been successfully removed, rinse the area with cold water and pat dry with a clean white cloth. Allow the fabric to air dry completely before using it again.
Conclusion
Removing oil pastel stains from Venetian lace fabric can be a bit tricky, but if you follow these simple steps you should have no problem getting rid of stain and restoring your delicate fabric.
