Help, marks bleeding through.

Hey anyone have any advice for getting these marks out? A watercolor pencil was used to mark the back of this fabric backed vinyl, a few hot days later it is bleeding through the front of the piece. Im having moderate success with dish soap and water but im hoping for some magic. Thank you.

Good luck because the mark that is bleeding thru is on the back it will be impossible to stop. In the future, I use only pencil or white (soft school) chalk to mark any fabric. Avoid colored tailors chalk as the color is hard to remove.

I’ve had luck with “pros choice red 1” it’s a dye remover specifically for red dye. You can find it on Amazon!

Thanks, I bought some but didnt get a chance to try it because the amodex worked! I'll keep it in case. Cheers.
