Pencil marks can add a unique character to your apron, but it can also be quite annoying when you want to freshen up your apron. To get rid of those pesky pencil stains, best way is to take appropriate action as soon as possible. Here are some simple steps that you can follow:
- Start by brushing off any excess graphite or lead from the pencil stain.
- Once you have done this, dampen a cloth with warm water and dab the area to remove the remaining pencil marks.
- If the pencil marks are still there, use a mild liquid detergent to treat the fabric.
- Gently scrub the area and allow it to sit for 10-15 minutes.
- Finally, rinse off the detergent with water and hang it up to dry.
Depending on the material you’re working with and the type of pencil marks, there are other methods that you can try. For example:
- For water-safe fabrics, you can use a pre-wash spray or spot cleaning product to treat the stained area.
- If you think the pencil mark may be permanent, you can use a laundry additive like OxiClean.
- For tough oil-based stains, you can use a cleaner specifically designed to target oil-based stains.
Once you’ve removed pencil marks, it’s important to always perform a patch test first on a hidden area of the apron to make sure the cleaning agent won’t damage the fabric. In addition, you should always read and follow the instructions on the labels of the cleaning products.
Now that you know how to clean pencil marks from your apron, you can easily keep your apron looking as good as new. Just remember to take necessary precautionary steps and to act quickly before the marks set.
