What You'll Need:

  • Laundry detergent
  • Clean sponge
  • White vinegar
  • Soft cloth

Step 1: Soak Stains in Detergent

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.

Step 2: Scrub with Sponge

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.

Step 3: Treat with Vinegar

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.

Step 4: Give it a Check-Up

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.

Conclusion

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!
