Help! How do I remove a relatively fresh blue marker stain from DC's dress?

And of course, of all the markers... it's not the washable kind!
Nutmeg, cilantro, sage, mint, thyme... these are a few of my favorite things! Visit The Nest!Visit The Nest! We have four children; one left us too soon.

  • If its a crayola marker (colored) you can try using a cotton ball rubbing alcohol.  Just be careful b/c the marker will run all over the shirt anywhere the cotton ball with alcohol touches it.   After that, try washing the stain by hand with baking soda, then pre-treat with stain fighter and launder as usual (but don't dry).

    You can repeat the process of stain fighter and laundering if it doesn't come out the first time.

    I don't know about sharpie marker, just the crayola kind.
