Removing Permanent Marker from Clothing

June 22, 2008

Permanent MarkerAs soon as possible, spray the mark liberally with hair-spray. Allow to sit for one minute then rinse in clear warm water. If some stain remains, repeat, until all stain is removed and then launder as usual. A friend of mine suggested this to me and it works great!

I've just tried it on my pricey raincoat made of 100% polyamide. It worked pretty good. I can barely see the stain now. Half way through, I started to spray on both sides of the fabric. The only drawback is that it had took me almost an hour to accomplish this.

Permanent marker is called that because it is difficult to remove. Once it has gotten onto clothing which is subsequently dried the task of removing it becomes more difficult, but not always impossible.

I first used rubbing alcohol then I rinsed the warm water, nothing. Should I still try hairspray and rinse with warm water?

I have never tried this on clothing, and I'm not about to attempt it on my dry clean only Blazer on which I just got permanent marker. However, as a retired teacher, I can pretty much guarantee from experience that coming over the top of the permanent marker and drawing with a dry erase marker will enable you to wipe it right off of any smooth surface.

You may need to repeat the process a couple of times, but it's never failed me yet.
