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
