Pants Stained by a Leather Belt

My husband's new leather belt rubbed off on his new light colored pants. The pants are 100% cotton, washable and are a heavy canvas material. The stains are all around the waist band. Any suggestions as how to remove stains without ruining the pants? I haven't tried to do anything with them yet and I've only washed them once or twice.

I recently discovered a stain after a shirt was in the dryer. After trying everything under the kitchen sink, I used Oxiclean granules mixed in hot water and soaked the stain.
It removed the stain within minutes. It's worth a try.
Good luck. (04/10/2006)

Ask hubby if he even cares. If he wears the pants with a belt all the time, it won't show. (10/22/2008)
