Hi, I have a shirt (100%) cotton that has been written on in various types of pen and some of the writing is beginning to fade!


I'm sentimental and would like to keep the writing as well-preserved as possible. Any ideas on storage/treatments?


Big Thankyous

when dying with dylon dyes you have to fix the dye with a sachet of dyefix and salt. could be worth getting some from woolies or wherever and some salt and soaking your garment in it, may work
