A co-worker told me about this in the 80's and it's been working for me. Don't ask me why nor how as I am not a doctor and may not work for you.

Great tips!

I use Lestoil to remove ink/marker stains from clothing. Put paper towel under and let soak. Wash out with cold soapy H2O. repeat if necessary.
