Tussah silk is a natural fabric made from wild silkworm cocoons. Its beautiful texture and lustrous sheen make it an ideal choice for many clothing items, upholstery, and other materials. With proper care and maintenance, tussah silk can last a long time. Unfortunately, pencil marks can damage fabric and must be removed as soon as they appear.
Steps to Remove Pencil Stains from Tussah:
- Begin by gently wiping away any excess pencil marks with a soft cloth.
- Prepare a cleaning solution of mild laundry detergent and lukewarm water.
- Dip a clean white cloth in cleaning mixture and dab at pencil mark vigorously.
- Continue until the stain has been completely removed.
- Rinse the area with clean water and allow to air dry.
Remember to always test any cleaning methods on a small, discreet area of the fabric first, to make sure the method doesn’t damage or discolor the material. If pencil mark still remains after the above steps, it is likely a permanent marker and will require professional cleaning.
