How to clean clothes stained with marker pen

Everyone should be very familiar with marker pens. Oil-based marker pens can be easily used to write on any material. They have strong adhesion and are difficult to wipe off, especially when they are stained on clothes, which makes them even more difficult to clean. Markers are needed in many places in life, and it is even more difficult to avoid stains on clothes. So how can we clean them in such a situation?

First, pour alcohol on the scratches made by the fountain pen on the clothes. Each scratch should be evenly covered with alcohol. The alcohol should have a concentration of not less than 75% medical alcohol. Place the clothes with the alcohol poured on it facing up, and try not to let it touch other sides of the clothes, otherwise the color of the pen or ballpoint pen mark may stain other parts of the clothes.

Use an ordinary washbasin and prepare half a basin of water. Then pour two full bottle caps of bleach into the clean water. Make sure it is two full bottle caps. Stir it slightly, then add a little detergent. You can decide the amount yourself. Then stir it slightly to allow the detergent to fully dissolve in the water.

Okay, now soak the clothes completely in water for twenty minutes. When the time comes, wash the clothes and there will be no marks at all! If it is a ballpoint pen mark and the mark is heavy, if there are still traces after using the above method, finally rub it gently with toothpaste and soap, and then rinse it with clean water, but it is strictly forbidden to use boiling water!

There is another solution: don't rush to put the clothes in water, but first wash the stained parts with gasoline and then follow the above steps to clean them.
