    I tend to soak things like this in a solution of warm, not hot water and washing soda. Then I scrub it with vanish stain remover bar before putting in to wash.

    Hope this helps!

    thanks for that. And of course surf has the '99 stains guarantee'

    *runs to check to see if felt pen stains are one of the 99 stains*
