Step 1: Pre-treat the Stain

The first step in cleaning marker stains from your maxi dress is to pre-treat stain. Use a damp cloth to blot the stain and try to remove as much excess liquid as possible. Once you have done this, apply mild laundry detergent or liquid dish soap directly onto the stained area and rub it gently with your fingers. This should help to lift some of the stain. Allow detergent to sit for around 10 minutes.

Step 2: Launder the Maxi Dress

Once you have pre-treated stain, put the maxi dress in a washing machine and launder it on a gentle cycle with cold water. Use a mild laundry detergent and make sure to add a little bit of white vinegar to the wash cycle. The white vinegar helps to lift any residual stains that may remain after laundering.

Step 3: Air Dry or Iron the Maxi Dress

Once maxi dress has been laundered, it's important to allow it to air dry or press it with a warm iron to get rid of any wrinkles that may have formed during laundering. If marker stains stubbornly remain, repeat steps 1 and 2.
