Since you dried the clothes the following steps may not work, but you can try:

Step 1
Dampen a cloth with rubbing alcohol.

Step 2
Saturate tbe stains.

Step 3
Fill a pail with 2 gallons of warm water.

Step 4
Add a scoop of detergent.

Step 5
Soak a half hour.

Step 6
Launder as usual. Line dry.

Answers may not be of much help due to fact that clothes have been dried and maybe more important, we do not know what type of paint is in the marker.

• Different kinds of paint will require different remedies for removal but maybe you can find one that will work.
• Most all solutions will require that you treat each individual "spot" and since you seem to have a lot of spots, you may have to decide which pieces of clothing you want to try and save.
• That also presents a problem as different types of material may require different type of solutions.
• I have never heard of any "remedy" that you could pour into a washer that would remove paint stains from several items - but??
• I have used "hot" vinegar, brushed on spots with a small brush, and then laundered and line dried to check for success.
• Here are a couple of links that have some methods that you might want to review in case a different one will help you.
