First, you're going to need some supplies:
For this project, you'll be creating a DIY stain remover with white vinegar and water. Start by mixing one part white vinegar with two parts water in a bowl. Use a soft cloth to apply this mixture to the pencil stains.
Once you've applied the mixture to the stains, use a soft-bristled brush to scrub the stains until they start to come off. If the stains are still there after scrubbing, use a clean, damp cloth to blot the stains. You should see the pencil stains start to lift off the fabric.
When you finish scrubbing and blotting the stains, rinse the area with cool water. To make sure all stains are gone, run the area through a cycle in washing machine. Once it's done, hang up the coat and let it air-dry.
That's it! With a little bit of elbow grease, you can revive your coat from pencil stains in no time. All you need is white vinegar, water, a soft cloth, and a soft-bristled brush. In no time, you'll have your coat looking as good as new.
