How to Get Marker Out of a Cotton Quilt
- 1). Moisten a dye-free cloth with denatured alcohol. Blot the cotton fabric around the marker stain with the alcohol to inhibit the marker from bleeding.
- 2). Blot the marker stain directly with the denatured alcohol, transferring the marker onto the cloth. Lift as much marker as possible.
- 3). Dampen another cloth with cool or warm water. Dab the stained area to rinse out the denatured alcohol.
- 4). Fill your clothes washer with warm water. Pour 2 ounces of liquid laundry detergent into the flowing water.
- 5). Add the quilt to the washing machine. Set the machine on the regular washing cycle and let the machine operate.
- 6). Launder the quilt again using cool water and no laundry detergent. Use the regular washing cycle.
- 7). Dry the wet quilt in the dryer using the regular heat setting.
