I just got back from the cleaners where I had patches added to my husbands shirt. I didn't notice when I left, but some of the shirts - which are dry clean only - have hem marking pen on them. How do you get this off? I don't have time to run back and ask them to dry clean the shirts today because he needs the in 2 hours. Help!

If you used a marking pencil or wax you may be able to rub the marks off with a pair of nylons/pantyhose. Simply slide your hand inside the nylon and gently rub the marks. If the shirts are dry clean only you won't want to put any chemicals on them. Hopefully this helps!
