Pen (biro) and texta marks on clothes

[CJJHRA]

Anyone know how to get them off clothes? DD has this thing where she likes to put dots on her clothes, I really should make sure I buy washable markers! the ones she has just dont seem to come off clothes, or her hands!! (takes a few washes to get off her hands/legs etc)

poop - I was hoping you had the answer!! I'm afraid I'm the one who tends to draw on clothes (especially white tops!!)

am very keen to see how to get pen out :o

I've got pen marks off clothes with Wonder Soap before. Not sure if anything could get a marker pen off.

You can get pen out of clothes by spraying with hairspray and leaving a little while before throwing it in the washing machine... it's been my remedy for years as I always got pen on my clothes at work.

White King pre wash spray does it for us.

What about getting texta out of clothes?

Yeah Ive seen the hairspray and deodorant (the perfume type not the antipersperant type) work and even some cheap perfumes... Im guessing its the type of alcohol in them. I could check with DH (aka the scientist) first if your worried about using them

White spirits (which is dry cleaning fluid) should do the trick, but use glycerine first for red pen.
White spirit will move the ink as it's a solvent. It's a bit wiffy but once you washed and dried your clothes (on the line) the smell will go.
