The first thing to do is to try to brush away the stain with a soft cloth. This can help to get rid of the majority of the marks. If this does not work, then you can try using a mild liquid soap and warm water. Work the soap into the stain using a soft cloth, and then rinse with plain water. This should help to lift stain.

If the stain is still there, then you can try using a bit of rubbing alcohol. Put a small dab of rubbing alcohol on the stain and let it sit for a few minutes. Then, rinse the area with plain water. This method should dissolve the pencil marks.

For tougher stains, you can try using a product such as Goo Gone. Simply put a small amount of the product on the stain and rub gently with a soft cloth. Let it sit for a few minutes and then rinse with warm water.

If all else fails, you can take your outerwear to a professional dry cleaner. They have special techniques to help remove tough stains such as graphite.

Now you know how to get rid of pencil stains on outer wear quickly and easily. With these methods, you can keep your favorite coat or jacket looking like new.
