If you treat permanent marker stains as soon as possible after they occur and you use the right combination of techniques and cleaning products, you have a good chance of removing the ink stain and restoring the appearance of your clothing item.
Things You Will Need
-
Place the clothing item on top of a clean, white cloth with the stained side facing upward. Use a cloth that you don't mind getting stained.
-
Spray the stain with hairspray to dampen it thoroughly.
-
Fold over the white cloth and press it onto the stain to blot up the moisture and ink. Continue blotting until no more ink is being transferred to the cloth.
-
Moisten another cloth with cool water and dab the stained area.
-
Blot the area once more with a dry cloth.
-
Moisten another cloth with rubbing alcohol and dab it onto the stained area if any ink is remaining.
-
Blot the alcohol with a dry cloth.
