I need stain removal help!!!
My two trolls got a hold of a dry erase marker and now EVERYTHING in my daughter's room is graffitied up with blue marker.
I tried alcohol. I tried windex (which removes Sharpie ink for goodness sake!). I've tried magic erasers. I've tried hairspray. I've tried stain removers like Zout and Spray 'n Wash.
I've been able to get it off the solid stuff, but the fabrics I've had no luck with.
Anyone know a brilliant solution to my problem, short of buying her a new bed set and reupholstering her bench?

Okay...I don't know if this will work for dry erase maker but I recently discover Goo Gone. I've used it for oil and water based paint stains on clothes and carpet. It really works.

…
The removers are getting increasingly weaker. I once got gobs of printers' ink off a car seat with Spot Shot. Last time I found the stuff it was a lot weaker. We used to use Graffitti Remover and Easy Off to get dried ink off our mirror-like backcylinders at the print shop. If you try these PLEASE MAKE A TEST IN A LOW PROFILE PLACE as they will probably eat whatever you are trying to clean. Good luck!

Re: …
I know we used to use a laundry detergent called BIZ that my mom swears can take anything out.
She could get anything out of fabric with it after she soaked it.
If you can find it maybe it will work

Re: I need stain removal help!!!
I'm worried about oil based products since it's fabric.
I'm getting some oxyclean in the morning to try.
I tried the dry erase cleaner spray (it's pretty much just rubbing alcohol), and it didn't work.
And I keep finding MORE stuff that they colored on. They were only alone in there for about 10 minutes!

Ten minutes can be an eternity...

Yikes.
I would think anything that removes crayon would work (waxy, oily dye stains...).
Try Windex. It took Sharpie marker out of a beige carpet. (But not dry erase marker off a comforter).
