Instructions
- Apply a layer of baking soda onto the stained area, making sure to cover the entire stained area. Let baking soda sit on the fabric for 10 minutes.

- Rinse area with cold water to remove solution.
- Repeat steps 1 to 3 until the pencil stain is completely gone.
- If the pencil stain does not respond to vinegar and dish soap mixture, try using a dry cleaning solvent. Test solvent on an inconspicuous area of the fabric first to make sure it does not discolor the fabric.
Tips
- Always test any cleaning solution or solvent on an inconspicuous area of the fabric before applying it directly to stain. This will help prevent discoloration.
- For a deeper clean, try soaking the raincoat in a mixture of 1 part white vinegar and 2 parts water for 30 minutes.
