To get highlighter out of clothes, blot the stain with a napkin, rub it with laundry detergent, wet it with rubbing alcohol, soak it in salt water and launder it according to the directions on the care label. This three-hour process requires napkins, laundry detergent, a sponge, rubbing alcohol and a bucket.
