Guest Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 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!

AnonyMouse_3139 Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 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?

Guest Jamjim Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Hairspray or nail polish remover may work depending on the type of marker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_79 Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_3735 Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 i know hairspray works for permanant markers on most items so as suggested may be worth a go. Inge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
