I need some help in trying to remove two strokes of black permanent marker from cream quilt.

Thank you for your replys

Jeff, are you a window cleaner or do you know something about fabric cleaning? this will effect the answers available,

if you know nothing about fabric cleaning then you need to realise that marker pen isn't usually soluble with a water based cleaning agent ( vanish, 1001.... etc) so it will need to be removed with a solvent solution. Asda sell a solvent cleaning solution, its in the laundry section. you could try this,  follow the instructions on the bottle.

or does your wife have some Acetone nail varnish remover ( the liquid not the gel) I believe this could work on some pen marks, but you need to work carefully using cotton buds

perhaps some one could comment more on the use of acetone to remove stains as my knowledge is a little limited in this area

Jeff like your tag line at the bottom.

I would only think you could dye it but Doug H will know if it can be done by any chenical reaction but would'nt have thought so.

Hi Pete
The tag line is so true on the forum, some people can hurt a lot of people, and it doesn't hurt to think a little before they reply.

Thanks for your replys guy's, its been a great help.

if you search 'stain removal' you should find some useful information on the removal of marker pen they suggest methylated spirit and white spirit.

don't forget don't go mad, use cotton buds and pre-test

Take it to your local laundrette and ask them to wash it with bleach, we have done a few when customers kids have drawn.

Thanks Shaun, the wife was trying the nail varnish remover last night with some cotton wol buds.

We had our little granddaughters staying with us for a  couple of weeks, and were going around the house and finding more and more pen marks, all were the little darlings have been.
so watch out for more of my posts for more desperate help.
