Doh ! The top came off my marker pen.

Any ideas how I can get permanent marker pen stain out of my nursing uniform ?
I have a big black stain on my pocket. Grrr.....
Is 'permanent' pen actually permanent ?

[boxtops]

Err.... yes.

I've not tried any myself so I'm not going to recommend any, but there are plenty of tips online if you google.

Well there are obviously ways of removing it - grafitti comes off these days .... But anything too harsh will probably eat the material !!

[chelle7272]

Yes that's why i didn't put any links, don't want to be responsible for melting your uniform!

very difficult once the stain is dry
if it is still tacky spray with hair spray and blot with white cotton fabric repeat until stain has gone

soak it in milk

eucalyptus oil put lots of tissue behind the stain... the oil loosens it after that a good rub from a vanish bar and a bit of a rub before it goes in the wash I was always doing things like that when I was a nurse.....
