I heard Mr Clean magic eraser works but you might want to test on a fabric scrap first.
|
I was going to recommend the magic eraser, too. I just used it yesterday to remove some pencil marks. But, as rhilkey recommended, test first.
|
I used Oxy clean on #2 pencil marks that were 2 to 3 years old.
|
I use pencil to mark my quilts. Before I wash I use a Shout solid stain stick on all the marks, rubbing it in well.

Next time try these pencils for quilt marking. I've used them for 15 years to mark my quilts for hand quilting and wash the quilt afterward with no problems removing the marks.

I've had success in using this product called Sew Clean, found in some quilt stores. It also removes ballpoint inks.

Good luck with the stain. I have a quilt with pencil marks on it that have been there for ages. Don't know how to get them out so I am very interested in this answer. Good luck.

This works on regular pencil marks so give it a try.
3 parts rubbing alcohol 1 part water 1 generous squirt of CLEAR dish detergent Pour solution into a jar, tightly covered. This will last a long time. When ready to remove the pencil marks, saturate a cotton ball with the solution and rub over the pencil mark. When dry, the pencil mark should be gone. |
I had one, the dog uses it now..........................
