Chalk Stains

Removing Chalk Stains

By Sarah Aguirre, About.com

Shake the clothing outdoors to remove as much of the chalk as possible.

If the chalk stain still remains, lay the clothing on a clean white towel and blot with rubbing alcohol. Rinse thoroughly.

Rub liquid laundry detergent into the stain and wash according to the directions of the label.
