How to Remove Sharpie from Clothes

Have you ever accidentally marked your clothes with a Sharpie? Don’t worry! Here are some simple and fun ways to get rid of those pesky stains:

Step 1: Use Rubbing Alcohol

First, grab some rubbing alcohol and a clean cloth or sponge. Gently dab the stained area with the rubbing alcohol. You’ll start to see the Sharpie ink lifting off the fabric. It’s like magic!

Step 2: Soap and Water Magic

Next, mix a little dish soap with warm water. Use this soapy mixture to blot the stained area. After that, rinse the fabric thoroughly with cool water. This helps wash away any remaining ink and soap.

Step 3: Try a Stain Remover

If the stain is still there, don’t give up! You can use a special stain remover made for ink stains. Just follow the instructions on the product, and it should help get rid of the stain.

Extra Tips for Success

Here are some extra tips to make sure you succeed:

  • Always test the rubbing alcohol and stain remover on a small, hidden part of the fabric first to make sure it doesn’t damage the material.
  • Act quickly! The sooner you treat the stain, the easier it will be to remove.
  • Be patient and gentle. Rubbing too hard can spread the stain or damage the fabric.
