Removing permanent marker blobs from a shirt

I managed to get a good sized permanent black marker spots on a favorite top. Have you tried anything that seemed to work if this has happened to you? I did try purify spot removal spray and let it sit but it did not work. All suggestions welcome

I will follow this thread on the chance that someone answers with a success story, but I think the name PERMANENT marker has already answered your question.

I have faced this challenge in the past with no success.

I did a search on the phrase how to remove permanent marker from clothing and got many returns for websites and some youtube videos.

I did not further investigate since it appears they type of fabric and color plays a part in what will work.

What is good for the goose today will also be good for the gander tomorrow.

@gellen. I do know there are Norwex products that can remove permanent marker from walls and flooring. I did see it demonstrated a few years ago. I don't know about fabrics, however, they do have a laundry detergent on their site. Maybe they have a help line or something.

Good luck; I hope you can get the stain out.

I have found that Fels-Naptha will usually do the trick.

@gellen - This happened to me years ago and someone recommended Simple Green. I can't even remember what material the top was, but I sprayed it on, rubbed it in, and let it sit for a while before rinsing it out. Then I washed it. It was my first experience with Simple Green, and I have used it ever since.

As others have said, I would be careful. A lot depends on your fabric. And it might be too strong for it.

Good luck!

Type in How to remove black permanent marker out of clothes.I have used alcohol and paper towel to blot ink out of carpet. I have also removed ink from a apron.

Dry Cleaners have products to remove just about anything.

Thanks for all your suggestions. I had googled and will try some of the products suggested. Of course this doesn’t happen when you are wearing a favorite top and not your old clothes 😠
