Getting out dry erase marker


So, the kids were using dry erase markers for there letters. Well Gavin went crazy and between 2 days got it on 3 pieces of clothing. Including drawing all over his sister! I tried all the stuff I found on goggle to remove and my normal pre treatment. In the end one thing worked! Murphys Oil soap.
So, first what you need:
Murphys oils soap it was under $4
Blue dawn
Scrub brush/ tooth brush
Paper towel 
Rag
First take white cloth or Papertowel under stain
Then soak rag in Murphys oil and Dav.
You will need to keep moving paper as marker absorbs onto it.
You may then use your nail or brush to kinda brush it out some more cause it gets in the grooves of the fabric. 
Keeping movie towel. Rinse and do again if need be.
Then apply blue dawn (you can even add some peroxide for good measure).
Then wash as normal.
Check before placing in dryer to make sure removed. All colors removed kids had on, black was still a little on shirt but barely noticeable 
I am very impressed I was so sad a frozen shirt and curious George was ruined.
