Cleaning Pencil Stains From Vinyl Windows

For vinyl windows, you can use a few different household solutions. Try combining equal parts water and white vinegar and dip a cloth in the solution, then rub the cloth on the stain. Another option is applying a paste made from baking soda and water. Rub this paste into the stain with a damp cloth and let it sit for 30 minutes before wiping away.

Cleaning Pencil Stains From Metal Windows

For metal windows, you can use a steel wool pad dipped in rubbing alcohol to scrub away pencil stains. Make sure to use a light pressure when scrubbing to avoid damaging the metal window.

Cleaning Pencil Stains From Glass Windows

For glass windows, use a solution made from equal parts vinegar and water. Dip a cloth in solution, squeeze out any excess liquid, and rub it into the stain. If the stain is still present, you can use a glass-cleaning product and rub it into the mark until it disappears.

General Tips for Cleaning Pencil Stains

If the stain is still present after cleaning, repeat the process until it has been removed.
Always test any cleaning solution in an inconspicuous area before using it on the entire window.
Avoid using any harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the window.
