    How to Remove Marking Pen Ink Stains From Fabric

    ——————————————————————————–

    Ink from marking pens can be difficult to get out. Here is an option for those plagued with either permanent or non-permanent ink stains. Pretest the fabric for colorfastness before attempting to remove the stain.

    Steps:
    1. Sponge the affected area gently with a small amount of dry-cleaning solvent.

    2. Blot with a clean, dry cloth or paper towel.

    3. Mix 1 tsp. of a neutral detergent with 1 c. lukewarm water. Blot the stain with this solution.

    4. Dab with rubbing alcohol and blot.

    5. Sponge with clean water and blot again.

    Tips:
    If the stain does not come out, consider bleaching it with hydrogen peroxide or just take to the dry cleaners and have them see what they can do!

    Well if it’s "permanent marker," it might be permanent………
    One last hope; try a product that you can buy at the hardware store called "GoofOff." It’s good for removing paint and adhesives. If that doesn’t work I’d recommend getting a marker and building the single mark into a unique pattern of some kind. An original design of your own choosing. Plan B would be to toss the bag and get a new one. :^(

    easiest way? buy an identical bag, then return the old marked up one. permanent market is called permanent for a reason.

    Awesome got blue sharpie out of my white carpet. (my son drew me a nice happy face) Also if you know anyone that sells/has Melalueca products, Sol-U-Mel gets dried paint out of clothes even after you wash them (fades the fabric a little though) so you could try that.
