What You'll Need
- A soft cloth
- White vinegar
- Baking soda
- A vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment (optional)
Step 1: Blotting the Stain
Begin by using a soft cloth to blot at the pencil stain on the shearling fabric. If possible, apply pressure directly to the stain—but be careful not to rub the fabric too harshly.
Step 2: Preparing the Cleaning Solution
Next, mix together 1/4 cup of white vinegar and 1/4 cup of baking soda in a bowl. Stir the mixture until it forms a paste.
Step 3: Applying the Cleaning Solution
Using your cloth, start applying the paste to stain, focusing on the perimeter and gradually working your way in. Make sure to use only gentle scrubbing motions so you don't damage the fabric.
Step 4: Allowing the Solution to Set
Let the paste sit for about 10 minutes, then check back to see if the entire stain has been removed. If not, reapply the paste and let it sit again until the stain is gone.
Step 5: Vacuuming the Area
Finally, use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to lightly vacuum area where the stain was located. This will help to remove any remaining particles of paste and make the fabric look like new!
Conclusion
Follow these steps to remove pencil stains from shearling fabric quickly and easily. With some patience and effort, you can keep your shearling looking fresh and clean.
