You have rub it in for ages and then scrub with a nail brush but it does work.

I've just got biro out of my coat with vanish spray. Was quite a lot and tbh wasn't expecting it to come out so was extremely pleased.

I support the hairspray tip too. Just spray and wash again. Comes up a treat, as they say!

Will try the hairspray next then as the milk only faded the marks a bit.

Thanks

Just to let you know that the hair spray tip really does work, it has taken dried on biro out of jade green school blazer really well without fading.

Fab thanks for the hair spray info. It worked a treat on my 3 year olds t-shirt which she 'accidently' drew on
