If it is permanent ink I guess it is a lost cause. How about trying to claim on your insurance? ann glos

Hi Val Found this.. Oil, grease, magic marker and ink can be the dickens to remove. Most janitorial companies or department stores carry a product called DeSolvit. WD40 or Orange Clean also work wonders at removing these stubborn stains. Rubbing alcohol removes ink. Blot on, allow to set 30 minutes and blot to remove. Rinse with sudsy water. Magic marker is generally permanent and you may not be able to remove it. Just for the record WD 40 removed chewing gum from my husbands suit! Marion
