Step 2

Stroke the marker stain with the soapy washcloth. Do not rub the stain as this may work the marker into the skin; instead stroke the cloth over the stain without too much force.

Step 3

Rinse the stain under running warm water to rinse away any ink lifted by the soap.

Step 4

Dab a cotton ball with rubbing alcohol and press on the marker stain. Wait a minute before rinsing the stain under warm water. Repeat this process until the stain is gone. Again, don't rub the stain with the cotton ball, dab only.
