Step 1: Blot Out the Stain

Begin by blotting the stain with a clean, dry cloth. Use gentle pressure to absorb as much of the marker ink as possible.

Step 2: Pre-Soak the Boxers

Fill a sink with cold water and add a small amount of liquid laundry detergent. Submerge boxers in the cold water and let soak for at least 30 minutes. This will help break down the marker ink before laundering.

Step 3: Wash the Boxers Separately

Once the boxers have finished soaking, launder them separately in cold water. Add a small amount of bleach to the cycle to help remove stubborn marker stains.

Step 4: Air Dry

Hang the boxers out to air dry or place them in the dryer on the lowest setting possible. Avoid high heat as it can cause the marker ink to set into the fabric.

Step 5: Repeat if Necessary

If any marker stains remain, repeat steps 1-4 until the ink is completely gone. If all else fails, consider using a commercial stain remover.

Conclusion

Removing marker stains from boxers is easy when you know what to do. With a little effort, you can keep your favorite boxers looking spotless.
