Step 1: Gather Your Cleaning Supplies
Before you begin, make sure you have the necessary supplies to clean the stain. You’ll need a mild detergent, rubbing alcohol, white vinegar, and hydrogen peroxide.
Step 2: Pre-treat the Stain
Mix together one teaspoon of mild detergent with one tablespoon of white vinegar and one tablespoon of hydrogen peroxide. Apply this pre-treatment solution to the stain and let it sit for 10-15 minutes.
Step 3: Rinse Stain with Cold Water
Using cold water, gently rinse the pre-treated area. Avoid scrubbing the fabric, as this could cause marker to spread.
Step 4: Apply Rubbing Alcohol
If the stain is still visible, apply rubbing alcohol to the area. Let the rubbing alcohol sit for 5-10 minutes. Blot it with a damp cloth.
Step 5: Wash in the Washing Machine
Finally, place item in the washing machine and wash it on a gentle cycle using cold water. Let item air-dry.
