    Do you have that magic eraser? I know it works on walls, It might work on clothes. Other than that i would just suggest a pretreater, then a really good wash. Sorry i dont know more, Good luck

    toothpaste also gets it off vinyl floors etc, also try hairspray it works wonders.

    Hairspray...Spray it on there and the ink just dissolves...pretty nifty trick.
    If the mailman knew that my heart races when the UPS man comes by, would he still bring me freebies?

    A 2 yr. old and a permanent marker - not a good combination. You might have to get rid of one of them Seriously, toothpaste or a Tide/water paste works wonders Good luck
    Toodles, Nanajoanie
