My daughter wrote her name using permanent marker inside her backpack and I'm trying to remove her name so my other daughter can use it. Inside her backpack is fabric and it's very hard to remove the marker; is there any remedy? The backpack is Louis Vuitton.

Why not cover the area with an iron on patch and write the new name some where else? Or glue/sew a piece of fabric to cover the old name and write on that.

How do I remove a felt tip or permanent marker pen line from a white cotton duvet cover?
By Carol
Use hairspray & blot with paper towels. Keep changing the paper towels around when they get dirty. I've used this method several times over the years & it works!
I think it is the alcohol in the hair spray that makes it work. If the hairspray doesn't work, try straight rubbing alcohol.
Krud Kutter will remove it use a cloth (white) under it and spray it and blot with clean white cloth it is fabulous stuff. It removed very florescent pink paint from my husband's camo jacket when the nozzle leaked on to it. This stuff is the most amazing stuff.
A friend's aunt was robbed several times about 20 years ago. Police told her to put her initials on everything, so she did, including on a beautiful white quilt with brightly colored appliques. She took black permanent marker and put her initials on the top and bottom sides of the quilt, in the corners and side edges. Each one looks different. Had they been embroidered it would have been okay.
I've read the suggestions, but my question is, has anyone had better luck with a particular product on removing permanent marker that has been on the cloth for over 20 years? Fortunately, some of the initials are only on the white cloth, so the bright colors won't be affected. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

To Remove Permanent Marker
First, place a stack of paper towels on a hard surface and place the garment with the stained side facing down on top of the stack. Since the paper towels will be used to absorb the stain, it is best to use a better quality, highly absorbent brand. This will cut down on the number of applications necessary to fully remove the marker.
Pour the rubbing alcohol over the marker in small spurts, making sure that the entire surface area of the stain is soaked. With a clean stack of paper towels on top of the garment, begin to gently press the stain into the stack underneath. Take care not to rub the garment, as this will only cause the stain to bleed, as well as put excess wear on the threading.
Thicker materials, such as sweatshirts, will require you to repeat this process multiple times in order to remove the stain. Blessings. (02/05/2010)

I had this problem with pillowcases I bought at a garage sale. I tried everything, but it would not come out. Finally I covered it with whiteout (for typewriter mistakes). It wasn't perfect, but good enough. White paint might work too. (02/08/2010)
