We all know what it's like to have a permanent marker stain on our precious raincoats — the panic, the fear of ruining our favorite jacket, and the frustration of not knowing how to remove the stain. Fortunately, cleaning marker stains from a raincoat is easier than it looks, and you can do it with minimal effort and minimal damage to the fabric.
How to clean marker stains from a raincoat
The easiest way to clean marker stains from a raincoat is to use a combination of mild soap, water and a soft brush. Start by making a mixture of 1 teaspoon of mild soap and 1 tablespoon of warm water. Dip a soft brush into the mixture and gently rub the stain in a circular motion. Keep rubbing until you start to see the marker stain disappearing. To finish up, rinse off the soap with cold water and let raincoat dry in a shady spot.
If the stain is still visible after trying the soap and water method, you may need to resort to using a special cleaner. There are a few popular products on the market designed specifically to remove marker stains from fabrics. When using the special cleaner, apply it directly to the stain and let it sit for 5-10 minutes before rinsing off. To finish up, let the raincoat dry in a shady spot.
Preventing future marker stains on raincoats
The best way to keep your raincoat free of unsightly marker stains is to prevent them from happening in the first place. To avoid potential accidents, store any markers, pens or writing utensils away from your raincoat and keep them out of reach of children. If possible, try to avoid letting young kids wear the raincoat, as even the most careful child can accidentally stain fabric with a marker.
