Tip #1: Spray the marker stain with hairspray and then scrub. May need to repeat it.

Tip #2: Try leaving a cottton ball soaked with rubbing alcohol on the shirt, when the ball is dry pick it up, it should have absorbed most or all of the stain.

Tip #3: I was looking for tips on removing permanent (it's called permanent for a reason...) marker from a cotton blouse. Happened upon your website.... Used the rubbing alcohol, which took out a lot of the deep colour. Then used bleach for nonbleachables and blotted like I did with the alcohol - and out it all came! Thanks!...Dee
