Accidentally got permanent marker on your outdoor cushions? Don’t worry—there are several effective ways to remove those stubborn stains without damaging the fabric. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you restore your cushions to their original condition.

1. Rubbing Alcohol: Dampen a cotton ball or cloth with rubbing alcohol and gently blot the stain. Avoid rubbing, as this can spread the ink. Repeat until the stain fades, then rinse with water.

2. Nail Polish Remover (Acetone): Apply a small amount to a clean cloth and dab the stain. Test on an inconspicuous area first, as acetone can discolor some fabrics.

3. Baking Soda Paste: Mix baking soda with water to form a paste, apply it to the stain, and let it sit for 10 minutes. Scrub gently with a soft brush, then rinse.

4. Hairspray: Spray the stain with hairspray (containing alcohol), let it sit for a few minutes, then blot with a damp cloth.

5. Commercial Stain Removers: Products like OxiClean or Shout can be effective. Follow the instructions on the label for best results.

For best results, act quickly and avoid harsh scrubbing. Always test any solution on a small, hidden area first to ensure it won’t damage the fabric. With these methods, your outdoor cushions will look as good as new!
