Removing Pencil Marks On Fabrics Declared Easy
AUBURN during school days pencil marks on clothing cause extra work for students Johnny and Mary. Extension Service specialist Levice Ellis says washable fabrics usually lose pencil marks without trouble. For indelible marks, denatured alcohol followed by laundering is advised. Javelle water removes remaining dye. For unwashable fabrics rub with a soft eraser then dip in carbon tetrachloride or denatured alcohol. Never moisten indelible marks with water on any material. The deepest lake in North America is Crater Lake, Oregon, while Glacier National Park in Montana has over 1,000 miles of trees.
