Fill up a basin or sink with lukewarm water and a small amount of laundry detergent. Place the stained areas of the leggings in the detergent water for about 10 minutes. This will help to loosen pencil stains.
Once leggings have been soaking for 10 minutes, take them out and scrub the stains with a clean sponge or brush. Use gentle, circular motions to ensure that the stains are being lifted from the fabric.
Once the stains are lifted, pour a bit of white vinegar onto affected areas and rub gently with a soft cloth. Allow the vinegar to work its magic for a few minutes, then rinse off and let the leggings air-dry.
Once the leggings are completely dry, do one more check to make sure all the pencil stains have been removed. If any stubborn stains remain, repeat Steps 1-3 before laundering.
Removing pencil stains from leggings may take a bit of elbow grease, but with these helpful tips you can restore your leggings to their former glory. Happy cleaning!
