Step 1: Blot the Stain

Begin by taking a paper towel and blotting the stain gently. This helps to pick up as much of the pencil lead as possible.

Step 2: Apply Cleaning Solution

Mix one teaspoon of mild liquid laundry detergent with two cups of lukewarm water. Dip a clean cloth in the solution and dab the spot several times.

Step 3: Rinse Away the Stain

Rinse the area with cool water to remove the cleaning solution and excess stain remnants.

Step 4: Use Alcohol

Take a cotton ball and pour a small amount of rubbing alcohol onto it. Blot the stained area with the cotton ball until the stain slowly begins to disappear.

Step 5: Launder Garment

Carefully launder the garment according to the manufacturer’s instructions. If the stain is still visible after laundering, repeat steps 1 to 4 before laundering once more.

Conclusion

Pencil stains on sundresses don’t have to be a daunting task. Just follow these five easy steps to have your sundress cleaned and looking great again in no time!
