stain removal?

Question

anyone have any good tips for removing black permanent marker from a white oxford shirt. The marker is a sharpie brand if that helps

Answer 1

Try whink rust stain remover, can be found at walmart.

Answer 2

Acetone, I worked at a cleaners and this is what we used to remove ink from all clothes, even the drycleaning...
You can also use WD-40...it will not harm your clothes at all, it the wd-40 will wash right out in the wash.
I have not tried either one of these on marker stains, only ink.
Neither one will harm your shirt

Answer 3

I use a product called EXIT soap and it is absolutely amazing. My niece came over and got hold of a sharpie and drew a beautiful picture on my lounge, I was so impressed. I was in tears!

I called my mum and she came over with a little yellow bar of soap called "EXIT soap". You won't believe how easy the stain came out, I now have a bar in the car, hand bag and glove compartment.

Answer 4

I have used Exit soap as well and swear by it, my mum put me on to it a couple of years ago and I don't know what I would do with out it.

By the way it will get your permanent maker out with out a problem!

Answer 5

Household products to try would be white vinegar....or hairspray......or nail polish remover.......

remember to blot.....back stain with a white paper towel

If that doesn't work, you could try GooGone.....found in the paint center of most large home improvement centers in the US....

Answer 6

HOT water and cascade crystals. soak overnight (a few hours at a time) a few times. don't use lemon scented. use regular.
it might not all come out, but enough that you can do something like use a white pen over it.

Answer 7

blotting with rubbing alcohol while backing with clean white cloth or paper towel - another product that works really well and doesn't harm fabrics is lighter fluid!

Answer 8

nail polish remover, and throw it in the machine and wash it in cold water

Answer 9

Try bleach.
