How can I get permanent marker stains out of my white t-shirts?
When removing ink stains from your clothes, read all of the labels first to make sure they’re washable, otherwise bring them to the dry cleaners. 1. Saturate the stain with an alcohol-based hair spray 2. Place some paper towels underneath the garment and dab (don’t rub) it dry with paper towels. The ink should start wicking into the towels. 3. Repeat the last two steps until the stain is gone, or it is no longer fading. 4. If the ink stain persists, repeat steps 1 and 2 using an alcohol-based nail polish remover in place of the hairspray. 5. If the ink stain still persists, soak the garment overnight in whole-fat milk, then launder normally. Don’t put it in the dryer until the stain is gone, or you’ll make it harder to remove. If after completing the above steps you still have ugly ink stains, bring the garment to your local dry cleaners.
