Try soaking each stain with hairspray, wash, repeat until stain is gone. Hairspray does remove most inks, even permanent. Or try the Mr. Clean eraser sometimes works on fabric stains without ruining fabric. Or shout stain wipes. Or even oxyclean. Hairspray would be my first choice.
I have a skirt which has been left damp in a bag and now has mold stains all over it, do you know how i can get this out ?
I read somewhere in an old book to treat these kind of stains with half of a fresh lemon & salt. Just Sprinkle salt on the stain & rub it with the lemon.
To clean marker and even permanent marker, try using nail polish remover. I strongly suggest to test it on an inconspicuous area of the clothing first just to make sure it doesn't damage your clothing.

I got a pair of jeans signed by every member of one of my favorite bands, I used sharpie. I want to wash the jeans so I can wear them again but I don't want the sharpie to fade.
Use rubbing alcohol. Use a sponge or washcloth under the fabric and pour alcohol on it and on a washclothe and rub it a bit then wash it.
I'd be surprised if your red marker stains don't just come out gradually in the wash over time. I've got a toddler in daycare and I have to label everything she wears. I do it with so called "permanent" laundry markers and it washes off in months. So far, I have found that none of them are truly permanent!
My 5 year old got marker on a 60 year old blanket that can't be washed. Any ideas on how I can get it out?
My daughter thought that my dress form needs a face, so she drew one on. I am quite upset about it since I use it professionally. I have already tried: oxi clean, brillo, hair spray, alcohol, spray and wash. Any more ideas?
I have successfully cleaned black permanent marker from clothes using old fashioned lye soap. Wet the stain with warm water. Rub soap into the stain. I use an old toothbrush to scrub the soap into the stain. I usually let the soap soak into the stain for several hours. Then I wash it with the regular laundry. If using this method on an upholstered piece, use a wet cloth to absorb the soap and water after the stain has gone. This has worked for me on almost every kind of stain.
I would try alcohol on the stain. I have used alcohol on stains from pens and I also use it for paint stains from acrylics and if you get it right away most of it will come out. I tracked some oil paint on my rug and used Murphy's Oil Soap on it after a couple of hours and it came out.
Try windex, put a cloth or paper towel under the material spray windex and blot the stain till it comes out. Also great for spraying carpet (ours is light tan). All I know is it worked for us.
