I have ruined so many good clothing it is really bothering me.

I have tried https://home.howstuffworks.com/home-improvement/household-hints-tips/cleaning-organizing/how-to-get-dry-erase-marker-out-of-clothes.htm

I have tried a lot of different products. They either discolor the fabric or they just don't work.

Marker ink is usually alcohol based. But I admit that I am not sure about dry erase. If you go to the store and get a can of denatured alcohol, if it is going to work the stains should come right out without hardly any scrubbing at all. Just pour it on. I don't think the alcohol will ever affect your fabric either, but don't sue me.

On the other hand, you may regret throwing out any of your old stuff if it works as good as I think it might.

Bleach works well for a variety of stains by breaking down the chemical bonds that give the ink its colour properties. It can cause yellowing of son fabrics though, so use dilute first in an inconspicuous area

Might it be a better idea to keep the dry erase markers somewhere other than in your pocket?
