It's no secret that pencil stains are difficult to remove. But with the right tools, they don't have to stay on your Uniqlo clothing forever. Here's what you need to do to remove pencil stains from your favorite Uniqlo items.
Step 1: Start by Blotting the Stain
Start by taking a damp cloth and blotting the stain to remove any excess pencil lead on the fabric. Don't rub the stain, as this will only spread the stain and make it harder to remove.
Step 2: Make a Stain-Removing Solution
To make an effective stain-removing solution, mix one tablespoon of laundry detergent with one cup of warm water. You should get a thick paste-like consistency. Then, using a soft cloth, gently apply paste to the affected area.
Step 3: Let the Paste Sit for 30 Minutes
Allow the paste to sit on the stained area for at least 30 minutes. This gives the cleaner time to penetrate and break down the pencil stain.
Step 4: Rinse with Cold Water
When the thirty minutes have elapsed, rinse the paste off with cold water. Once the paste is completely gone, use a damp cloth to lightly scrub the area and remove any remaining pencil residue.
Step 5: Then Throw in the Laundry Machine
After the stain has been removed and area is clean, throw item into the washing machine with a cycle appropriate for fabric type. For best results, use hot water to ensure all pencil residue is gone.
Step 6: Let it Air-Dry
Once the item is done in the washing machine, lay it out to air-dry in a dry place. Do not put the item in the dryer until you are sure that the pencil stain is gone.
By following these steps, your Uniqlo clothing can be saved from pencil stains in no time!
