Most of us use pencils in our everyday lives, whether to take notes, draw, or complete schoolwork. But when it comes to our hairstyles and accessories, pencil can quickly become an enemy. Pencil smudges are common on hair barrettes — clips, pins, slides, and more — and it can be a challenge to clean them.

But don't worry! With these simple steps, you can remove pencil lead, eraser bits, and other pencil-related smudges, so your hair barrettes never look less than perfect.

What You Need

  • A q-tip
  • Rubbing alcohol
  • Water
  • Mild soap/dish washing liquid

Instructions

  1. Do a spot test. Before cleaning your barrette, use q-tip and a bit of rubbing alcohol on an unnoticeable area of the barrette to check its colorfastness. If the color is affected, then use the mild soap instead of rubbing alcohol.
  2. Apply rubbing alcohol or mild soap on stained area with a q-tip. Gently scrub the stain until it starts to fade away.
  3. Rinse the area with water.
  4. Use a soft cloth to dry the barrette.

And there you have it! With just a few simple steps, you can clean pencil smudges and other marks off your hair barrettes and keep them looking perfect.
