I left my blue highlighter uncapped on one of my favorite white shirt and now there are huge blue circles in 3 different places. I put on some stain remover, and then soaked it but all it succeded in doing was lifting the ink kinda out of the stains and depositing the ink on the rest of the shirt. Now my shirt is light blue with 3 huge marker stains. How should i go about washing this shirt? I am a college student and feel rather lost. Thank you nation states!

Buy a new one. There is no hope for you or your shirt. Your life is over. Quite college and live in a rubbish bin!

I'm not sure what can be done really. Try bringing it to a dry cleaners?
Or put a magic marker over it and it might fade?

How bout mixing Pure Chlorine with Anthrax and throwing it in a vat of that, maybe that will work...

Seriously? Buy a new one

saturate the stains with WD 40, wait a bit, then scrub hard using DAWN dishwashing liquid right on the spots.

Apply pressure and keep the shirt elevated.
