Method 1: Use Rubbing Alcohol for Fresh Pencil Stains
Rubbing alcohol is a great way to remove fresh pencil marks from business suits. Begin by blotting the stain with a clean cloth to absorb as much of the pencil mark as possible. Once the excess graphite is removed, dab stain with rubbing alcohol and use a clean cloth to rub away the remaining mark. Once the pencil mark is gone, wash the area with cool water to remove the rubbing alcohol.
Method 2: Apply Liquid Detergent with a Toothbrush
For old or set-in pencil stains, use liquid detergent to help lift the stain. Mix a few drops of detergent with cool water, then dip an old toothbrush into the solution. Gently brush the stain in a circular motion until the stain starts to fade. Rinse the area afterwards with cool water and then allow the garment to air dry before repeating the process if needed.
Method 3: Use Crayon Remover for Severe Pencil Stains
Crayon remover can be used to remove stubborn pencil marks from your business suit. Begin by using a clean cloth to blot away any excess graphite. Then dip a cotton swab into crayon remover and apply it to stained area. Finally, rinse area with cool water once the stain is gone.
