Urgent Science Project Help!

[pachecos13]

Hello everyone!

I'm new here obviously, and I need a ton of help with my science project! My experiment design is due on Monday. I need help because a lot of the information is hard to find on the internet. If you can help me find it too, that'll be great!

So my fundamental science project question is: Can tide detergent (or bleach?) remove sharpie from clothes? Why or why not? How?

I talked to my chemistry teacher and she wants a lot more information on the chemical analysis/make up of the marker and detergent. She said my experiment is very elementary and doesn't have a lot of chemistry involved to make it more complex. On my first draft, I just put the fact that the marker is on the fabric and testing it with different detergents. It's basic I know. So do you think you can help me with adding more chemistry to my project?

Questions: Do you think I should use 3 types of fabrics or 1 type of fabric?
Do you think I should use detergent or bleach? If so, how many brands? One?
Can you help me with why the detergent/bleach removes the marker?
Can you help me with how it does this (deep into the chemistry; breaking bonds and such)?
Can you help me with the chemical analysis of the bleach/detergent?
Can you help me with the chemical analysis of the marker?
How do the chemicals/chemistry of the detergent affect each other so it cleans the mark?

BASICALLY, I just need to add more chemistry analysis into my project and figure out how many of each material (detergent/fabric) I should use. PLEASE HELP. I need answers by Sunday, January 18th.
THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH! REALLY!
