Any way to get ink stains out of a light grey shirt?

Question

My husband is a security guard, and his uniform is light grey. He had an ink pen in his shirt pocket that leaked. HE washed the shirt and put it in the dryer. I think the stain has set. Is there any way to get the ink out?

Answer 1

Try soaking it in oxiclean and warm water before you rewash it. If that fails try hairspray.

Answer 2

Try using hairspray. Spray it on the ink stain and rub, continue doing this for a few minutes. I believe it will bring the stain out, even though it's been washed and dried in.

Answer 3

Try soaking it for a few hours in Oxi-clean. Then when you go to wash it, use either shout or spray'n'wash on the stain. I was going to suggest hair spray, but I'm not sure if it will work after the shirt has been washed. Good Luck!

Answer 4

Carbona's ink remover. It's a small yellow bottle located in the laundry aisle near the stain removers.

Answer 5

Try dousing it with aerosol hair spray. You may have to really soak it with the spray and then wash it a few times - spraying it again in between each wash.
