Things You'll Need

  • Dish soap
  • Hydrogen peroxide (3%)
  • White vinegar
  • Salt
  • Soft brush

Step 1: Apply Dish Soap

Take a soft brush and dip it in warm water mixed with some dish soap. Gently scrub the pencil marks with the brush. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes before rubbing the spot with your fingers.

Step 2: Rinse With Water

Rinse off the remaining soap from the linen using clean water. If the pencil marks are still visible, move onto the next step.

Step 3: Apply Hydrogen Peroxide

Take some hydrogen peroxide - about 3%, and pour it onto stained area. Allow it to sit for 5-10 minutes and then use a soft cloth to blot the stain. Rinse the area thoroughly with clean water afterwards.

Step 4: Use White Vinegar and Salt

Create a paste by mixing together some white vinegar and salt. Rub the paste onto pencil mark and leave it for 10-15 minutes before rinsing it off with water. Repeat this process as needed until the pencil mark is gone.

Step 5: Dry the Linen

Use a dry towel to pat dry the fabric after rinsing it clean. Let the linen air dry completely before using it.

Conclusion

By following these simple steps, you can remove pesky pencil marks from your linen without any trouble. Make sure to use a gentle hand and avoid rubbing the fabric too harshly.
