Removing Marker Stains from Chiffon Georgette
Homemade Solution
- Create a homemade solution of rubbing alcohol and dish soap
- Combine 1 part rubbing alcohol with 2 parts dish soap and stir together until it forms a foam
- Using a damp rag, blot the stain with the solution
- Once the stain is saturated and loosened, use a clean, damp cloth to lift away the stain
- If the stain persists, increase the amount of rubbing alcohol used in the solution and repeat steps
Store-Bought Remedies
- Purchase a stain remover specifically for removing ink and marker stains
- Follow instructions on the package for how to apply the product
- Allow the product to sit on the fabric for some time, as indicated in the instructions
- Rinse the fabric with cold water until all traces of the cleaner are gone
- Gently scrub the affected area with a soft cloth, while repeating the rinsing and scrubbing process, if necessary
Additional Tips to Keep in Mind
- When using rubbing alcohol, test a small, hidden area of the fabric first, to make sure there won’t be discoloration or damage
- When using a store-bought product, be sure to use it only as directed and avoid applying heat, as this can set the stain
- Always dry the fabric after each step and ensure it is completely free of moisture before storing it away
