What You'll Need:
- White paper towels
- Rubbing alcohol
- Cotton balls
- Liquid dish soap
- Laundry detergent
- Cleaning cloths
Step 1 - Blot Stain
First, use a white paper towel or a dry cleaning cloth to blot the stained area. Make sure to use light, gentle pressure while blotting to avoid spreading the stain further.
Step 2 - Apply Rubbing Alcohol
Using a clean cotton ball and some rubbing alcohol, dab the stained area. Do not apply too much pressure when dabbing so that the stain does not spread further. Continue to blot the area with the paper towel or cloth after each application of rubbing alcohol.
Step 3 - Apply Soap and Stain Remover
Next, mix some liquid dish soap and laundry detergent (in a 4:1 ratio) and apply it to the stained area. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes before blotting the area with a clean, damp cloth. Rinse the area afterwards and repeat the process if necessary.
Step 4 - Wash the Dress
Finally, wash the entire dress according to the manufacturer's instructions. Then, air dry the dress or put it in the dryer.
Conclusion
Following these steps should help you easily remove marker stains from your favorite A-line dress. But remember, if the stain persists, don't panic. You can always take the garment to a professional dry cleaner.
