Dry erase board marker stains on clothes, help!

[minnie1012]

Ok so I have to say I miss chalk boards. Only because I can't get the marker stains out of my daughter's clothes! I have asked the other mom's at school and I guess I just have a sloppy kid because no one else has a problem! I feel like I have tried everything, every stain fighter, alcohol, baby wipes, toothpaste, hairspray. Murhpy's oil soap worked alittle but not on everything. Anyone have any ideas to get the stains out!

If the Murphy's Oil soap worked, try WD40. It's very greasy. But I read once that to combat a greasy/oily stain, you put on more grease, (the WD40,) to wet & lift out the stain. Then, once the stain is gone, you use Dawn dishwashing liquid, to take out the residual WD40.

Dry erase is the one thing I have never been able to get off of clothes. Sharpie, yes, dry erase no.

My teenager had a marker fight with someone at school. He thought it was so very very funny. Me not so much. He was wearing a YELLOW Abercrombie tee. And it was black dry erase. I washed. Pretreated ect. ...

The only thing that worked was putting it into a bucket with a scoop of Oxyclean and about a gallon of cold water. I let it soak overnight.
Then washed in cold water= good as new!!
