Pencil marks--Gone!
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!

Great information. Thank you for sharing your good experience. We all seem to run into these kinds of bad experiences. Mine is a leaking ball point pen on a new tablecloth I made. I have used everything I could think of but it is still with me! I have gotten an amazing amount out but the basic stain is still there in three places. More ideas?
