Step 1: Blot the Stain

Use a paper towel or a cloth to blot the area of the stain to absorb as much of graphite as possible. This will prevent it from spreading further.

Step 2: Make a Cleaning Solution

Mix equal parts hot water and white vinegar in a bowl and wet a cloth with the solution. Use the cloth to blot the stain until it starts to lift. Be sure to use gentle pressure—you don't want to push the stain deeper into the fabric.

Step 3: Rinse the Area & Dry

After the stain is lifted, rinse the area with some cool water and dry with a clean cloth. Keep blotting the area until it is completely dry.
