Removing Red Sharpie From Bedspread

RE: Removing Red Sharpie From Bedspread Post by gracij (1) | (10/12/2007) Profile | Contact I had a similar problem with a roller ball ink pen that fell off my desk on to my daughter's baby quilt. I did the hairspray/ alcohol and water thing and got out as much as possible, then slathered it with stain stick (has to be the stick) and let it sit for a week or so, then washed it. It worked great! No trace of the ink. It wasn't a sharpie though so I don't know if it will work the same but it can't hurt to try it. (stain stick is a godsend! it even takes out grease stains that have been through the dryer! - between that and oxy-clean, there is rarely a stain that i haven't been able to conquer) best of luck with your beadspread!

RE: Removing Red Sharpie From Bedspread Post By goodmom (Guest Post) (10/06/2007) There are two things that might work. Take the spread and stand by the sink with the tap running on low. Drip rubbing alcohol on the red area and then stick that area under the area to rinse out the dispersed ink. Keep doing this (alternating between the rubbing alcohol and water) till the stain has totally dispersed. Another thing that might work is old-fashioned hairspray in an aerosol can. Use it as you would use the rubbing alcohol, with the same procedure as above. I have used both of these with success.
