How to Remove Marker Stains from Flannel

  1. Using a vacuum cleaner, remove as much of the marker stain as possible by vacuuming gently in a circular motion over the affected fabric.
  2. Mix one part liquid detergent with three parts warm water. Using a clean white cloth, dab the stain with the detergent mixture and allow to sit for several minutes.
  3. Blot the area with a slightly damp white cloth. Rinse with warm water and blot dry with a new clean white cloth.
  4. If the stain persists, mix one tablespoon of baking soda with two tablespoons of white vinegar. Apply the mixture to affected area and gently scrub the fabric using a soft-bristled brush in a circular motion.
  5. Rinse the area with clean warm water.
  6. Allow the fabric to air dry or use a clothes iron set to low heat to dry.
