Tips for Removing Water-Soluble Marker Stains From Fabric
Removing water-soluble marker stains from fabric is a simple and straightforward process, especially when done correctly.
Thanks to the composition of water-soluble fabric markers (containing a water-based solvent), it is easier to remove their ink stains than their permanent or waterproof counterparts.
With the right tools and techniques, you can easily remove water-soluble marking pen marks without damaging your fabric.
Read on to learn more about the proper steps in removing marker stains from your fabric.
How do you remove water-soluble marker stains?
Use a wet sponge for small areas to remove a water-soluble marker from the fabric.
If you are removing marker stains from a large area of the fabric, soak the stained area for a few minutes in a bowl filled with water and a mild soap solution.
Then, rinse the stained area of the fabric with cold running water so that small marker particles don’t cling to other sections.
Repeat the process for stubborn marker stains.
How to Remove Water Soluble Marker From Fabric – No Full Wash
To remove water-soluble marker stains from fabric without a full wash, follow these steps:
Step 1: Gather all the materials you need
For this step, you’ll need a pen-shaped, sponge-tipped envelope moistener and a paper towel.
You can find envelope moisteners on Amazon, eBay, and other online or local stores.
If you can’t find envelop moisteners, you can cut a sponge to the shape of the tip of a pen.
Step 2: Apply water to the mark or stain
Gently touch the sponge tip of the moistener to the stain. Give the sponge a light squeeze to release a controlled amount of water.
If you are using your DIY sponge, simply moisten the tip in water and dab the marker stain gently.
Step 3: Absorb excess moisture
Use a paper towel to blot the area. This will absorb the extra water and help lift the marker stain from the fabric.
For stubborn stains, repeat the process until the mark is fully removed.
This method is quick, avoids soaking, and can be done on the go.

Remember These Tips When Removing Water-Soluble Marks From Fabric

- Blot the marker stain gently instead of rubbing the fabric. Rubbing will only spread the stain further.
