Hi, help needed toremove pencil marks from polished porcelain tiles

[SJP]

Hi

I am Hoping someone could help with some advice on how to remove pencil marks that the bathroom fitter has got on recently laid polished ivory porcelain tiles, as it doesn't seem to want to come out and there are a couple of them in conspicuous places such as to the left of a toilet push plate which almost makes it look like a fault in the tile, but its def pencil as we have another couple of marks in other places. Has anyone got a simple solution to remove them please?

Many thanks
Sue

Welcome along to TF. The wipes used for cleaning silicone and hands etc (there are a few brands) have worked for me in the past.

ask the plumber if he has a china rubber he should have one and it will remove pencil marks from most tiles

rubbing wet adhesive over stone tiles is amazing to remove pencil marks, could be worth a try on porcelain.
no logic to remedies sometimes!!!

I have tried De.Solv.it multi purpose wipes and they have not even touched the pencil mark :-(( Others have kindly suggested using a china rubber - I have tried searching on the internet for them but I can't find one - is there another name for them or does anyone know where I could purchse one from please?

Many thanks

Eureka!!!

Thank you to everyone that took the time to respond to my plight, I appreciated each and everyone of them. I worked throught the majority of them and tried the multi task wipes, JML magic sponge, Fila products, Ciff, and much much more. I can't remember who suggested it but ''HOB BRITE'' was the answer to my prayers and removed it quite effortlessly. Clearly a very happy bunny - thank you team! :hurray:

I'm pretty sure that I responded to everyone who posted a suggestion, if not sincerest apologies it was because I found it difficult navigating the forum at first - needed a forum wizzard too!!

So once again thank you to all the team helping me to resolve it!

Regards
Sue
