The first step is to prep the area. Begin by removing any dirt or debris from the stained area. This can be done using a soft brush, such as a toothbrush or a butter knife. Once the area is clean, move onto the next step.
The next step is to apply a stain remover. You can purchase pre-made cleaners specifically formulated for use on fabric, or you can make a simple solution of hydrogen peroxide and water. Apply the solution directly to pencil stain and let it sit for 10-15 minutes before wiping it away. If necessary, use a toothbrush to scrub at stain gently.
Once stain has been removed, rinse the area with warm water to remove any residue. Then, allow the shoes to air dry completely before wearing them again. If the stain remains after washing, repeat the steps above until it is gone.
When the shoes are dry, you may want to apply a protective coating of leather polish or shoe wax to restore their shine. This should help to protect the shoes from any future staining.
By following this simple step-by-step process, you can easily remove pencil stains from your beloved ballet flats. Just remember to be gentle and patient with the process and your shoes will be looking good as new in no time.
