best way to get permanent marker out of clothes?

Been putting off getting permanent marker out of clothes for months and finally started this weekend. It's a cream carpet in the lounge, so nothing fancy. How do you do it?

rubbing alcohol. folded paper towel under the stain, dab from the top with a cotton pad soaked in it, and keep moving to a clean bit of towel as the ink transfers. it's slow, don't scrub or you spread it. hand sanitiser works in a pinch since it's mostly alcohol. then wash as normal and air dry. if there's a shadow left, go again before it ever sees the dryer.
