Pen Marks!

[Guest]

Hi! Does anyone know how to get whiteboard marker pen stains out of fabric?! As a mum, I have tried every remover available to no avail, and as a teacher it would be useful to be able to suggest a solution to frustrated parents!!

Any ideas welcome!! Thanks!

Hi, I can't help with your query I'm afraid but just wanted to welcome you to the forum! Someone more knowledgeable will be along shortly I'm sure!

Hi Dheffer, I'm sure my mom told me years ago that biro could be removed with milk. But she has 'moments' you know so she could be thinking of something entirely different.

 

I do know when I've used marker on P.E. kits it's stayed even after loads of washes though

 

How about trying a loads of different things.

Turps, biotex, oxi thing, milk?

Hairspray or nail polish remover may work depending on the type of marker.

Hi and welcome.

As far as I know you cant. Sorry!

If you discover a solution please let us know.

 

I always tell the children it wont come out and teach them how to use the pens carefully. I also restrict the free use.

Its a pretty tall order but there is some good advice here for stain removal.

i know hairspray works for permanant markers on most items so as suggested may be worth a go.

My boys have both marked their shirts over the years and I have as yet not found anythin that works, but I have not tried perhaps as much as I should have done, I just save that shirt for if I am desperate. I actually had more problems with sand staining when they were in reception.
