Cleaning pencil marks

Dec 28, 2004 3 Replies

Hi all, I need to remove some pencil marks on a white tub (made of some kind of plastic or fiberglass).



So far I tried (in that order):



  1. High quality pencil eraser (STAEDTLER Mars Plastic)
  2. 96% rubbing alcohol
  3. Windex
  4. Dish detergent
  5. Clorox

While the pencil eraser was the most effective, none of the above succeeded in removing the marks *completely* (no, they are not engraved in the plastic. :-)).



Any idea or suggestion how to remove those ugly pencil marks? (on a white tub!).



Regards, Jean


Soft scrub, a paste of baking soda and water, or a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser
