How to Remove Magic Marker From Clothes
- 1). Place a clean, white cloth on top of a flat work surface. Lay the Magic Marker-stained garment on the cloth with the stained side down.
- 2). Isolate the Magic Marker stain and prevent it from spreading by sponging it with rubbing alcohol. Dab at the edges of the stain, then move inward.
- 3). Rinse the clothing with cold water to remove the rubbing alcohol and as much marker stain as possible.
- 4). Pour heavy-duty laundry detergent onto the remaining stain. Work the soap into the clothing fibers by rubbing it in with your fingers. Let the detergent sit for 10 to 20 minutes.
- 5). Mix 1 gallon of cool water and 1/4 cup all-fabric bleach in a bucket. Soak the stained garment in the diluted bleach solution for 15 minutes. Rinse in cool water.

Wash the clothing with heavy-duty laundry detergent. Add the recommended amount of all-fabric bleach to the wash cycle to help remove any traces of marker stain. Allow your clothing to air-dry, as drying them in the dryer will set any remaining stain.
