Get sharpie off a stuffed animal #BizChallenge #ad

This post about how to get sharpie off a stuffed animal is brought to you by Biz Stain & Odor Eliminator. All opinions are 100% mine.

So my four year old, she really likes to color. It’s rare to see her without a crayon, pencil or marker in her hand.  We’ve always been really diligent about keeping all of the permanent sort of art supplies locked up out of reach, but somehow, she got her little hands on a purple sharpie.

And promptly colored on several of her posessions.  One was a finger mold made at a Brownie field trip to a local orthodontist office. Some sharpie went on the kitchen table, some went on her play kitchen,and some was put onto her beloved Fluffy, a stuffed puppy her Uncie Bill gave her for Christmas 2 years ago.

Kids amaze me.  When she saw that there was sharpie on Fluffy, she was beside herself. Remember, she put the sharpie on the dog.  Sigh. Patience.

Now, the other stuff came off with some mommy magic cleaning skills. My two favorite pre-wash stain methods did nothing to this sharpie.

But the puppy? I needed some help. I wanted to weep. Poor Fluffy.  Then I remembered that I’d gotten a bottle of Biz Stain Fighter in the mail and figured I needed to test it out on regular laundry, and I had to wash our napkins…so I figured Fluffy could give the Biz a go as well.  Yes, Biz.  The stuff my grama used to keep in her laundry room.

So, I put some of the Biz Stain Fighter right on Fluffy’s tush. And I waited. Biz contains more stain fighting ingredients so I knew I’d have some success, just not HOW much success.

Into the wash Fluffy went.

39 minutes later, Fluffy came out.  He was about 85% free of his sharpie marks.

A little more Biz, a little more wait…

and guess what?

Fluffy’s good as new!! He looks fab, doesn’t he? At least until my sharpie wielder strikes again.

Now, soccer and baseball start in a few weeks.  Hopefully Biz can keep up with the stinky sweaty uniforms that will be coming home x3 kids!

    Has anyone else successfully tried this? This disorder absolutely nothing to my marker stains or pen stains. I drove kind of far to get this and am so disappointed. Waste of time.

      Really? I’m still using it- and loving it. My 6 year old loves sharpies. I keep hiding and she keeps finding. I’m so sorry you haven’t had luck- have you called the company?

    I cannot believe that it got the Sharpie out. I will have to get some of this & try it out.

  4. Toni says

    Oh that’s is AMAZING! I really need to get some of this! My daughter had a phase of liking to color everything too.

  7. Trisha says

    This is awesome! If it can get out a Sharpie stain, I can only imagine what other stains I could tackle with it!

    I don’t have Sharpie on our stuffed animals, but I do have it on other things. Definitely going to see if this will take it off.

    When I saw the first picture I thought it was a real dog! LOL, poor fluffy. Biz worked really well on that Sharpie stain. We all have those unexpected stains, it’s good to know that we have help getting them out.

    Oh how I know that I will need this someday!! I’m just waiting for one of my boys to write on something with a sharpie. LOL!! Thanks for the tip.

    This is amazing. My daughter drew with marker on her American Girl Doll’s face. I need to try this, she used a Sharpie and I haven’t been able to get it off yet.

  21. Katy Rawson says

    Oh my gosh, that’s awesome that it got sharpie out. We have a couple of pillow pets with marker on them. I’m going to have to try Biz on oir stains.

  25. Dawn Lopez says

    Wow, seriously! I can’t believe that it really removed sharpie?! What! I thought that was really impossible! I totally need to pick up a bottle of this asap!

  26. Brandy says

    Glad to see that Fluffy survived. My boys colored my carpet with Sharpie marker and I wonder if Biz might be the trick to getting it out. 

  28. Alaina Bullock says

    I remember some of my stuffed animals having permanent marker on them, and I gave them up for lost.That is awesome that Biz worked so well to get it out! I bet a certain little child is happy right now! I am definitely going to get a bottle of Biz – which I have never tried before – and see how it does on our clothes and stubborn stains!

    This reminds me of the time my son used a blue smiley face stamper to decorate our real Maltese. I am impressed that you were able to get that out so completely.
