Step 1: Rub the Stain with an Eraser

The first thing you should do if you encounter a pencil stain on your crop top is try to rub it out with an eraser. Gently rub surface of the stain in a circular motion with the eraser. Be sure to check if stain has disappeared every few seconds, as you don’t want to over-rub and damage the fabric.

Step 2: Apply Baking Soda or Vinegar Paste

If the stain is still there after you have rubbed it with an eraser, you can try applying a paste of baking soda and water or vinegar and water to stained area. This will help to lift the stain from the fabric. Let the paste sit on the stain for about 10 minutes before gently rubbing it away.

Step 3: Launder Your Crop Top

Once you have rubbed away the paste, you should launder your crop top. Make sure you use a mild detergent and warm water to ensure that the fabric isn’t damaged in the process. Don’t put the crop top in the dryer until you’re sure that the stain is gone.

Step 4: Treat with Stain Remover

If the stain persists after laundering, you may need to use a commercial stain remover to get rid of it. Read the instructions carefully before applying stain remover to the fabric. Once you have treated it, wash and dry your crop top as normal.

Conclusion

You don’t have to throw away your favorite crop top if you get a pencil stain on it. Simply follow the steps outlined above to clean the stain. With some elbow grease, you should be able to get rid of that pesky pencil stain in no time!
