The important thing is to act fast. <br\/>Here\u2019s what you can do to get the stain out:<br\/><strong>Use a clean cloth or paper napkins gently. Blot any excess so it won\u2019t spread deeper. Apply a laundry pre-treatment solution and leave it alone for 10 to 15 minutes before washing it out. If the pre-treatment solution does not work, you can use plain laundry detergent. <\/strong><br\/>Rub the highlighter stain gently. Avoid scrubbing the stain as it will only cause the stain to go deeper into the fabric.<br\/>Use alcohol if the plain laundry detergent still doesn\u2019t work. When the stain fades, soak the clothes in saltwater for two hours and then wash.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1594031910237\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>How Do You Remove a Highlighter Without Lemon?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">You can remove highlighter stains and it can be done without the use of lemon.
