Pencils are a great tool for drawing, writing and crafting, but can also be a big mess if you're not careful to keep them away from your fabrics. Whether you got a bit carried away with sketching and left your Dashiki covered in graphite, or your kids decided your vibrant African garment was the perfect canvas for their drawings, you don't want to let pencil stains ruin the beauty of the fabric. Fortunately, there are a few tricks you can use to restore your Dashiki back to its original look.
With these simple steps, you can clean off pencil marks from your Dashiki and make it look good as new! It's a good idea to test out the cleaning solution on a small, inconspicuous part of fabric before proceeding with the rest of the garment. This will make sure the cleaning solution doesn't cause any fading, discoloration, or other damage.
