How Do You Remove Permanent Marker From Cloth?
Permanent markers are useful for certain tasks, but if the label says “permanent,” it holds true. Removing permanent marker from cloth or fabric can be difficult if you do not use the right stain remover. Most laundry products will not work on permanent maker stains, especially the vibrant, dark colors such as red, blue and black. Treat the permanent marker spot as soon as possible. Place the cloth onto a old towel or rag and test the fabric by applying a small amount of acetone to a hidden area to make sure the color is not affected by the chemical. If the color is not affected, pour some acetone directly on the marker. Rub the acetone into the cloth by blotting with a clean rag or gently brushing the stained area with a soft-bristled toothbrush. Work the acetone into the cloth and over the stain until the permanent marker disappears. Rinse the cloth or fabric in luke-warm or cold water to wash out the permanent marker color. Repeat the process if there are still traces of marker pres
