How do u get sharpie out of a hat?

Question

i have a brand new white hat and i just got it signed by the NC baseball team and i got some black sharpie and part of the hat and when i try to get it out using this action gel it smeered it, is there any better way to get the sharpie out?

Answer 1

I am not sure if this will work, but the spray N wash dual power works wonders. I used it on 15+ year old stains that have been dried and set in many of times also on rust stains and they came out. I also know that hair spray works on ink pens, I am not sure if it will work on sharpies, but it is worth a try.

This is from the the sharpie website:

"How do I remove a permanent marker stain?

The successful stain removal of ink stains differs from case to case because of the many types of fabrics, colors, inks and time elapsed before stain removal. We cannot guarantee stain removal since many variables can be involved. Testing first is always recommended as well as following both the stain remover and clothing manufacturer's instructions. Following these steps should result in partial or complete removal.

General Rules:

1) Treat stains as soon as possible. Fresh stains can be removed more easily than old ones.

2) Check manufacturer's labels as to fabric content and any special instructions

3) Always test stain removal solution first on a hidden part of the article or on swatch of fabric taken from seam allowance to insure no color loss or damage will occur.

4) Where possible, lay stained article face down on paper towels or clean white cloth and apply stain removal solution to underside of stain so that stain can be removed from the surface instead of pushing it through the fabric. Replace towels or cloth as they absorb stain to prevent stain transfer.

5) If enlisting the aid of a professional laundry or dry cleaner, be sure to indicate what the stain is and the type of fabric.

6) Do not iron stained garments or put in dryer as this may set stain.

I have always used nail polish remover to get it off of skin and clothing but be careful that stuff can be potent and stain clothes.

Answer 5

The hair spray with alcohol or the nail polish remover is about your best bet. Put something under the spot to absorb the ink as it dissolves from the chemicals.

Answer 6

well u could bleach it but I don't know if only the sharpie will come out. Some color might come out too. Good Luck.

Answer 7

Put some paper towels, or a regular towel under, or behind the stain, grab some hair srap, spray it directly on the stain, ( use alot ) and it should start to come out.

Answer 8

Wash it a bunch. I got Sharpie on our kitchen counter, and it came off with wear.

Answer 10

Bleach should help, but if the hat isn`t white try nailpolish remover.Alchohol can work too.If none of it works the Shapie should fade.
