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
