I accidentally got Sharpie marker (not the laundry kind, but permanent) on my favorite jean skirt and I have no idea how to get it out!

Hi. My husband had a pen style sharpie in his back pocket and when he got into the car it clicked on. He also wouldn't take the jeans off right away so it set in before I could work on it. I first used an alcohol wipe and that lifted a lot of the ink. Then I used dawn detergent and a toothbrush. It looks great!! Good luck stain lifters.

I had a six inch streak of Permanent Red Sharpie 1/8 wide, on a new pair of blue jeans. Has been setting in the clothes hamper for the last four days. I took a folded paper towel placed it underneath the fabric. I then sprayed the streak with Spot Shot.
Took a clean white old rag rubbed and blotted it in all directions. I did this twice. After the 2nd application (in less than 3 minutes), the stain is GONE!

For the hairspray trick you saturate the stain and dab it with a rag. Use the non aerosol kind, the cheapest brands work best.

Can someone explain this hairspray trick? I had a kid write on my $70 jeans and a yellow hollister shirt with a black sharpie and am really hoping to get it out. I haven't washed either since the incident which was about three weeks ago so does anyone have any ideas? Thanks

I used the hairspray trick which, yes, did FADE the words out but didn't take out the marker completely. But I then handwashed my jeans and spray the still faded marker with Shout, and the stain came right out!

I used rubbing alcohol on a sharpie stain that was over a year old, and it didn't get it completely out, but it faded it a lot.

I just put dawn on the stain, waited about a minuet, started scrubbing with an old toothbrush occasionally rinsed with cold water, and put it in the washer on rinse and spin. it came right out!

My friend joey thought he would be cute and he wrote on my brand new $60 pair of jeans with black sharpie. I was irate to say the least. I used dawn soap and put it on the stain then soaked it in COLD water for like 10 minutes then I put Spray 'n Wash on the stain and scrubbed hard with a old tooth brush and it came right out, thank god.

I looked at this site to try and get tips on getting sharpie out of my sons new gloves. Hairspray works! I also used an old toothbrush to scrub. It worked like a charm and didn't fade the color at all. :D

OMG, I got permanent marker on my jeans so I heard alcohol would remove it but I didn't have any so I used GERM X and it totally worked you can only see a little spot were the marker was at GERM X is amazing!! It's a miracle worker.

I just now put rubbing alcohol on my jeans to remove the blue permanent marker I put them in the wash just now. Hopefully it'll bring the marker out I pray so them are my favorite pair of jeans!

Use alcohol prep pads such as those for treating cuts they work really well.

I had a real smart athlete sign his jersey instead of signing the replica. I used Jinx Ink and it worked like magic. Took everything off. Additionally, after that happened, I did clean out the inside of my dryer drum which had old sharpie and ink stains from pens left in the wash. The stains were over 8 months old and the Jinx worked!

DONT use the oops! pen. Its a waste of money. Unless its just a little mark. If its a big spot where it bled through big time all it does is fade the marker further into your jeans. not good.

My daughter's daycare took it upon themselves to mark her favorite backpack with her (long) full first name right in the center with a permanent marker. Needless to say I thougt it was ruined.
Rubbing alcohol and goo-gone did not work, but hairspray did the trick!

I can confirm that hairspray does work to get green sharpie out of blue jeans:-)!
I found that cheaper hairspray works best and then scrub with a q-tip both with and against the weave. The hairspray did leave a small mark when dry but I am sure this will come out in the wash. Now my boyfiend is allowed to come with me to my grans tomorrow :-) PHEW!

Spot Shot removes it from carpet. It is available at grocery stores now. Don't rub ,just dab it off.
