Step 1: Gather Your Supplies
Before you begin, you'll need following items:
- White vinegar
- Cotton swabs or cloth
- Toothbrush
Step 2: Soak Area
Once you have your supplies, you'll want to start by soaking the stained area with white vinegar. You can use a cotton swab or a soft cloth for this. Let the area soak for about 15 minutes before proceeding.
Step 3: Scrub with Toothbrush
After the area has soaked, take a toothbrush and begin scrubbing pencil stain in circular motions. This step may require some elbow grease, but the result will be worth it – with enough scrubbing, the stain should eventually disappear.
Step 4: Rinse with Water
Once stain is gone, rinse the area with clean water to remove any remaining vinegar residue and dry the work. Now your Irish crochet is looking as good as new!
