Method 1: Soap and Water
The simplest and safest way to clean pencil stains on cotton seersucker is to first apply a few drops of liquid dish soap onto the stained area. Gently rub the soap into the stain with a damp cloth, then blot with a dry cloth. If stain is still visible, repeat the process as needed. Once pencil stain is gone, rinse the area with cold water and air dry.
Method 2: White Vinegar and Water
If the stain is still visible after trying the soap and water technique, you can use a mixture of white vinegar and water. Combine 1 part white vinegar and 2 parts water in a container, dip a cloth into solution, and gently rub it into the pencil stain. Let the mixture sit for at least 10 minutes before blotting with a cloth and then rinsing with cold water. Finish by air drying.
Method 3: Rubbing Alcohol and Dish Soap
For more stubborn stains, you may need to try a combination of rubbing alcohol and liquid dish soap. Mix equal parts of each together, apply it to the stained area, and gently rub it in with a damp cloth. After a few minutes, rinse with cold water and air dry. Repeat the process as needed until the pencil stain is completely gone.
