Permanent Marker Stain on Clothes/Fabrics
What you need:

- Hydrogen Peroxide Based Bleach
- Lava(TM) Soap
How to:
- Fill a glass with denatured alcohol (Use a size appropriate to the stain).
- Dip the stained area into the alcohol, allowing it to soak.
- If it appears that the marker is being removed, continue the process.
- If the stain is stubborn, try scrubbing the marker stain with an old toothbrush and white nongel toothpaste and baking soda.
- Give a really good scrubbing.
- Rinse.
- If marker stain is still there, scrub with Lava(TM) soap prior to trying the denture cleaning tablets.
- If the stain is almost gone, soak in a cup of warm water and 2 denture cleaning tablets for whites. For colorfast clothes soak in hydrogen peroxide based bleach.
- Launder as usual.
Warnings & Cautions:
Be sure to entirely remove stain before drying, otherwise the stain may be permanently set in.
Linda Says:
Permanent usually means permanent! These steps will require some time, but if the stain comes out, it'll be worth it!
