# How to Remove a Sharpie Marker out of Material
Sharpie is one of the most widely recognized manufacturers of permanent markers. The word "permanent" in terms of stains conjures up images of ruined clothing items that have to be tossed in the trash. Sharpie marker ink won't usually come out with regular washing alone. Luckily, however, you can remove some Sharpie marker stains from material surfaces if you attack the stains as soon as possible and with the proper cleaning techniques.
