Cleaning ponies from pen or a marker stift?

[Flowerpowerfien]

Hello everyone!

is there anything on the market that you can use when your ponies are dirty with pen or markers on their bodies?
I hope anyone can help me!

Thanks,

As far as I know, the only way to get rid of pen and marker is to sunfade it off

I am going to pop this over to the Corral for you

One of the best things for taking pen and marks off a pony is a magic eraser. Some pen stains will also come off with acetone or even with some carpet shampoo products. For basic dirt though I would simply try a degreaser/dish soap and warm water. And if none of those works then sun fading is the best bet.

What is sun fading?

It is exactly what it sounds like- you put the pony in the sun for however amount of time to fade marks off of it. It can be a risky process though depending on the pony's original body color so I suggest doing a lot of research before attempting it.
