I posted to this several days ago requesting help removing pencil marks that had been put onto a "rescue" top quite some time ago. Thank you to all who responded.

This is what I did: I used a previously-used soft toothbrush and put blue Dawn directly onto the marks with the brush. Left it to sit for maybe half a day. Added a 1/2 scoop of OxiClean to the washer with hot water. Added the quilt and let it soak overnight. Turned the washer back on to finish the cycle. When I lifted it out, the marks were gone!!! I did run it through a regular cycle with my usual detergent then and did a second rinse. Wow--I am happy as those dark marks, even on white background are gone! Yay--happy dance!
