How to Clean Marker Stains from Cloth Masks

  • Saturate stained area with white vinegar and allow it to soak for a few minutes.
  • Using a small brush, scrub the stain gently to loosen the stain particles.
  • Rinse the stained area with hot, soapy water.
  • Wash cloth mask, the same temperature as the water used when rinsing.
  • Check the stain before drying in the dryer. If stain has not dissipated, repeat the process.
  • Dry in the dryer on lowest heat setting, or allow to air dry.

Other Materials

Marker stains on non-cloth masks can be treated similarly. For plastic, leather, and other types of fabric, follow the same steps as above. However, you may need to use a stain remover specifically designed for the material. Be sure to check label to ensure that product is safe for the material.

Cleaning Tips

  • Act quickly! The longer the marker stain has been on the mask, the more difficult it can be to remove.
  • For stubborn marker stains, try using an alcohol-based cleaner or an enzymatic cleaner.
  • Do not use bleach or other harsh chemicals — these may damage some types of fabric.

Conclusion

With the right approach, it's easy to remove marker stains from cloth masks and other materials. The key is to act quickly and use the right cleaning techniques and products. Follow the simple steps above, and you'll have a clean, stain-free mask in no time!
