Pencils are an essential part of writing, drawing and even crafting. On the downside, they can also leave behind tough-to-remove stains on your fabric. If you’ve got pencil marks on crepe fabric, you might be feeling frustrated. But don't worry – there are ways you can get rid of them without damaging the fabric.
Method 1: Use Rubbing Alcohol or a Hairspray Solution
For this method, you'll need rubbing alcohol or a solution of half water and half hairspray. Use a soft cloth to dab the stain with the solution. You may need to repeat this process a few times before the stain starts to fade. Once you've removed as much of the stain as possible, put the crepe fabric in the washing machine to remove any remaining residue.
Method 2: Try White Vinegar and Water
For this method, you'll need to mix equal parts white vinegar and water in a bowl. Use a clean cloth to apply the mixture to the stained area. Let it sit for a few minutes, then rinse the fabric with cold water. Finally, place crepe in the washing machine on a gentle cycle.
Method 3: Apply Ammonia and Water
For this method, mix equal parts ammonia and water in a bowl. Again, use a soft cloth to dab the stain with the solution. Let it sit for several minutes, then rinse the fabric with cold water. Finally, put the crepe in the washing machine.
Method 4: Rub Olive Oil onto the Stain
For this method, generously apply olive oil onto the stained area. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes, then use a soft cloth to scrub the fabric. Rinse off the oil with cold water, and then you can place the fabric in washing machine.
By trying out one or more of these methods, you should be able to successfully remove pencil stains from your crepe fabric!
