Glitter Markers on Carpet

Apply warm water to the stained area and blot with paper towels. If stain persists, apply a small amount of liquid dish soap and work in a circular motion from the outer edges to the center. Flush with warm water and blot with paper towels. Repeat as needed.

SPECIAL NOTE: When possible, remove marker colors separately to avoid smearing multiple colors together. Some colors may be harder to remove, making the entire stain more difficult to remove.
