The second you spot the highlighter stains,
grab a paper napkin or tissue and blot any excess highlighter that may be
present on your hand or shirt. Read the label of the shirt and test all
cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area of the clothing before you actually
proceed with the cleaning process. In case of any discoloring or damage to the
shirt, do not use that item on the entire garment. You can adopt any one of the
following methods to remove highlighter stains from your clothes or skin.
Method One (Removing Highlighter Stains
from Clothes)
Things that you will require:
·
Clean
towels
·
Nail
polish remover
·
Laundry
detergent
Steps that you will need to take:
1.
To
start off, place a towel on a hard, flat surface, and put the stained part of
your shirt on top of it with the stain facing the towel not you.
2.
Grab
a clean, white towel or a few cotton balls and pour some nail polish remover on
to the towel or the cotton ball.
3.
Start
blotting the stained area with it. As the color transfers to the towel, move
from one part of the towel to another. If using cotton balls, change the cotton
balls once it becomes completely dry or colored.
4.
Keep
pouring and blotting till the entire highlighter stain is removed.
5.
Once
you have gotten rid of the entire stain, wash the clothing as normal with your
regular laundry detergent.

from Clothing)
Things that you will require:
·
Bucket
·
Measuring
cup
·
Water
·
Bleach
·
Laundry
detergent
Steps that you will need to take:
1.
If
the stain has been left on the clothing for too long or has set in too deep,
nail polish remover may not be able to remove it. In such a case, bleach can be
used. To do so, grab a bucket and fill it with water.
2.
Add
the bleach to the water in the amount stated on the packaging of the product.
If you are using bleach on colored clothing, remember to check for color
fastness earlier. Use color-safe bleach.

Now,
place the garment in the bucket for 15 minutes only and let the bleach treat
the stained area.
4.
The
highlighter stain should have disappeared by now. Wash your shirt as normal.
