Alcohol - like the kind that you keep in the cabinet for cuts and scrapes

Dab a little on(you'll see the ink start to run) rub, rinse(cold water only), repeat-repeat-repeat-repeat - till it all comes out

(what works with the hairspray is the alcohol that is in the hairspray-most people are told to use hairspray b/c it is more easily found when you are not at home and you are trying to remove an ink stain - but the very best thing is the regular alcohol)

ps if you have already tried the WD-40 (I have never tried it and I don't know if it works on ink) you will be left with and oil stain - to get the oil stain out use dawn - rub it in - rinse -repeat - repeat repeat - at least three times and do not throw this article of clothing in the dryer until you have inspected it to make sure there aren't any types of stains left b/c after it goes in the dryer it will be set in and there will be nothing you can do about it

Answer 3

Be thankful it is ball point ink. Use hair spray; spray the stain and let the hair spray set for five minutes or so, then take an old toothbrush and scrub, rinse, spray again, scrub, and rinse again. If this does not work, mix 1 teaspoon of bleach, with 4 teaspoons of water, and 1/2 teaspoon of liquid soap. Add a very small amount to the spot then scrub and rinse-rinse-rinse. (Don't get aggressive with the bleach and add extra or you will bleach the color out of the fabric, and maybe damage the fibers - If the shirt is not white, test the bleach solution on a small area that will not show if the bleach fades the color. Hope this works for you! Good Luck

Answer 4

Dont use Ethers, Alcohol or esters to remove the stains as it may perish texture of cloth.

I use hair spray to get ink out of clothes. Spray the ink and get it good and wet with the hair spray and then wash immediately. Repeat if it all doesn't come out. Good luck!

Try hairspray... that should work. If that doesn't, try the waterless hand cleanser that mechanics use to clean their hands and a denture brush to scrub it with. That works great on stains!

Answer 8

Put hairspray on, it let it stand till you see the ink running, then wash as usual.
