White vinegar is an effective and safe way to remove pencil stains from lace. To use this method, begin by blending one part white vinegar with two parts water in a bowl. Then submerge the stained area of the lace into the mixture, and let it sit for 10-15 minutes.
After soaking, gently rub the stained area with a soft cloth to remove the pencil stain. If any dirt remains after rubbing, repeat soaking and rubbing until it’s gone. When finished, rinse the lace in cold water to remove any remaining vinegar residue.
Hydrogen peroxide is another safe yet effective way to remove pencil stains from lace. To use this method, begin by mixing hydrogen peroxide and baking soda together in a bowl to form a paste. Then apply the paste to the stained area of the lace, let it sit for 10-20 minutes, and then wipe away the stain with a soft cloth.
If there is any remaining paste on lace, rinse it away with cold water. Again, if any dirt remains after wiping, repeat process until it’s gone.
Dish soap is a mild yet effective cleaner that can be used to remove pencil stains from lace. To use this method, begin by mixing a small amount of dish soap with some warm water. Then dampen a soft cloth with mixture, and use it to gently rub away the dirt and pencil stain from the lace.
When finished, rinse the lace in cold water to remove any remaining residue. If any dirt remains after wiping, repeat this process until it’s gone.
Pencil stains can be difficult to remove from lace without damaging fabric, but it’s possible with the right techniques. Try using white vinegar, hydrogen peroxide and baking soda, or dish soap to safely remove pencil stains and dirt from your lace without causing any damage.
