Indelible Pencil Marks
Dear Aunt Daisy, Could you advise me how to remove indelible pencil marks from a light fawn coloured coat? "Smudge." The difficulty is to remove without spoiling the colour of the coat, There is almost sure to be a slight difference in the colour at the place where the mark was, even if the ink does come , ba
out. However, try photographic hypo, ' which you can buy from the chemist. Dissolve about %%40z. in a pint of water and soak the stains in it. The proper way to "soak" any stains is to put a piece of clean blotting paper (or -even a folded towel) underneath the stained place, dip little balls of clean cottonwool into the solvent, and dab the stains, not rubbing, which spreads them, but just mopping or dabbing, with successive clean pieces of cotton wool. Another thing you might try is trichlorethylene from the chemist. This worked well in getting out printers’ ink from light grey trousers.
