When it comes to the fabric care of cotton oxford, pencil stains can be tough to get rid of. These pesky splotches can appear on everything from shirts to coats and require special attention during the cleaning process. Fortunately, there are ways to quickly remove pencil stains from this type of fabric.
Step 1: Blot the Stain
Before attempting to remove the pencil stain, you should start by blotting stained area with a damp cloth to help loosen and lift the residue from the fabric. Make sure to use only a damp cloth, as too much moisture can cause additional damage to the fabric.
Step 2: Apply Soap
Once you have blotted the stained area, apply a small amount of mild liquid detergent directly to the pencil mark. If your clothing is delicate, it may be helpful to use a gentle, non-gel laundry detergent instead. Gently rub the soap and water mixture into the stained area using a soft cloth or brush and allow it to sit for a few minutes before continuing.
Step 3: Rinse and Dry
Rinse the cloth with cold water and blot the stained area to remove any remaining traces of the detergent. Be careful not to rub the fabric, as this could cause stain to spread further into the fabric. Once all of soap has been removed, lay the item flat in a well-ventilated area and let it air dry.
