Removing marker stains off a buttondown shirt can seem like a daunting task. But, with the right method and some patience, it is quite possible to get rid of them without much trouble.
Things You'll Need
- A cup of warm water
- A few drops of dish soap
- White vinegar
- Hydrogen peroxide
- A toothbrush
- A soft cloth
- Laundry detergent
Steps to Follow:
- First, use a soft cloth to dab the stained area of the shirt and absorb as much of ink as possible.
- Next, mix a few drops of dish soap in a cup of warm water and dip the toothbrush in it. Use the toothbrush to gently scrub away the marker stain.
- Now, pour some white vinegar on a clean cloth and blot the stained area. This will help to loosen up the stain on the fabric.
- Next, apply some hydrogen peroxide directly on stain, and then rub it in using the cloth. Leave it on for a few minutes, and then rinse the area with warm water.
- Finally, launder the shirt according to the instructions on the care label, using regular laundry detergent.
And that's it – you can now enjoy your fresh and stain-free buttondown shirt!
