Stop permanent marker from bleeding on clothes when washing them?

Question

I've wrote with permanent maker on some shirts and I need to wash them. What do I soak the shirt in before washing them so that the permanent maker doen't bleed out ? (it was like salt, baking soda, vinger or something) I was told what to do last time I had to do this but that's been like 10 years ago and I forgot... Can anyone please help me.. Thank you..

Answer 1

It should not run, but vinegar is the thing that should set it. You can wash the item by itself with some vinegar in the wash.
