What's in Sharpie Ink?

Are Sharpie Permanent Markers Toxic?
Sharpie markers contain AP-certified non-toxic ink.
How Should You Remove a Sharpie Permanent Marker Stain?
Given Sharpie markers' nature, removing their ink from fabrics can be difficult and can't always be guaranteed. For best results, treat the stain immediately. Immediate treatment will reduce the amount of time the stain can set in. First, check care recommendations on the garment tag. Next, with the stained garment lying face down on a paper towel or clean white cloth, add stain remover to the back of the stain and gently agitate with a soft bristle brush to push the stain out of the fabric instead of burying it deeper. Wash the garment based on manufacturer care instructions and check if the stain is removed before placing it in the dryer. The heat from a clothes dryer may cause stains to set further.
How Long Will Sharpie Permanent Marker Last?
Among other factors, a Sharpie marker's staying power depends on whether the surface is porous or smooth and whether the marking is located indoors or outside, where it is exposed to the elements.
