Over the weekend me and my friend got in a fight with a permanet marker, she accidently got some on my light pair of jeans and it won't come out. I washed them and put SHOUT stain remover on them twice but it still won't come out. Do any of you have any suggestions? My jeans are really light, so I dont wanna to ruin there color or anything, and if I bleach them, then I'll lose the color in that spot. Please help.

Maybe you add a few more marks in different colors? At least then it would look like you did it on purpose. [ chaos's advice column | Ask chaos A Question ]

It gets permanent marker off of/out of everything else...I found that out the hard way. Lol. It shouldn't bleach the jeans, but it might be able to get the marker out. If not, try nailpolish remover...Or just keep washing them. It should fade eventually. I hope this helped! -Siren =) [ Siren_Cytherea's advice column | Ask Siren_Cytherea A Question ]

If you can find one of those, or apply the bleach with a cue-tip, it will limit the bleaching action to a small area. However, it is bleach, so the original color of the jeans won't be there either.
There is also Clorox Color Safe Bleach, but I've not used it, so I don't know if it works.

I got eyeliner on a pair of my light jeans (don't ask) and it still hasn't come out, but the more I wear them the lighter it gets. Even though it's permenant it could still possibly come out. Just try other methods. There's this one girl who got pen off a purse using hand sanitizer, she told me it gets out all stains... I'm not sure about that, I've never tried, but I guess you could. Sorry I'm not much more help then this. [ S_C's advice column | Ask S_C A Question ]

You can try talking them to the dry cleaners, it's not that expensive. *goodluck* [ AnGeLtHuGsTa's advice column | Ask AnGeLtHuGsTa A Question ]

My family uses "Carbona: Stain Wizard". You put it on the pants right before you put it in the wash and it works really well. You can try it and see how it works..♥ [ aNgeLxfOrEvEr's advice column | Ask aNgeLxfOrEvEr A Question ]
