My 1 year old was playing with dry erase markers and got some all over his t-shirt. My husband didn't pay attention when he did the laundry, so it's gone through the wash and the drier already. Is there anything I can to get it out? I tried sunscreen, dish soap, several different fabric cleaners, and the stain still looks the same. It was his only good outfit and I can't afford to get him another, so it's really important to me to get this stain out.

I have used hairspray and had luck on most fabrics. Try this with a small spritz on an edge of the stain and make sure the stained area isn't touching the unstained area as you don't want to spread the stain. Spray and use a clean white rag to wick away the ink. It may take several times, but it usually removes the stain. Wash in a regular wash when done to get spray residue out.
Try an oxy-clean type of detergent.
You can try using the Murphy's oil and soap method. I advise you to test your cleaning supplies and instruments on a tiny area of the garment first to see whether they will not leave stains or if your cleaning supplies are clean.
