Stains from pencils on chinos can be annoying. But luckily, it is possible to remove them without damaging fabric. Here are a few tips and tricks to help you clean pencil stains from your chinos:
- Start by lightly dabbing stain with a damp cloth. Don’t rub it too hard or you may spread the stain.
- Mix 1 part white vinegar and 3 parts cold water in a bowl. Dip a clean cloth into the mixture and dab the stain.
- If the stain persists, mix 1 tablespoon of ammonia in 1 cup of cold water. Dip a clean cloth in the solution, and again, gently dab the stain.
- After cleaning the stain, dab a dry cloth over area to remove any residual moisture.
- If necessary, apply a small amount of laundry detergent directly onto the stain. Use a damp cloth to gently rub detergent into the stained area. Rinse with cold water, then let the fabric air dry.
It is important to remember to always test a small area of the fabric before applying any cleaning solution. This will ensure that the solution will not cause any damage to the fabric.
By following these steps, you can easily clean pencil stains from your chinos with minimal effort. So don't worry—you don't have to throw out your favorite pair of chinos just because of a pesky pencil stain!
