If you’re in a rush after an artful party or craft session, don’t worry – it’s possible to quickly and easily remove marker stains from your crop tops with some simple steps.

Step 1: Scrape off Excess

Scrape off as much of the excess marker as possible with a dull knife or spoon. Doing this will make the stain easier to treat and reduce chances of it getting worse during the cleaning process.

Step 2: Treat the Stain

Once the excess has been scraped away, saturate the area with washing-up liquid, rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover and allow it to sit for up to five minutes. This will help to loosen the stain and make it easier to remove.

Step 3: Wash the Crop Top

Once the stain has been treated, wash the crop top using the gentle cycle of your washing machine. Make sure to use cold water to prevent stain from setting further. If possible, add a scoop of oxygen-based bleach to the load. This will help to further loosen the stain and make it easier to remove.

Step 4: Allow the Crop Top to Air-Dry

Once the cycle is complete, hang the crop top up and allow it to air-dry. Avoid exposing the fabric to direct sunlight, as this could cause stain to fade unevenly and leave behind a bleached patch.

Step 5: Repeat if Necessary

If the stain hasn’t completely disappeared, repeat the above steps until it is removed. If it is still not coming out, you may need to seek advice from a professional cleaner.

Conclusion

Marker stains on crop tops don’t have to be a cause for distress. By following steps outlined above, you should be able to easily and quickly remove any stubborn stains without damaging your favourite garment.
