thank you x

Answer 1

this sounds silly but it works....Lysol disinfectant spray....Daughter was playing with a pen when she was little, and got ink all over a little silk jumper that was given to her, and I was mortified. I had heard of hairspray but since I don't use it, I had none. But I did have Lysol spray. So I saturated the ink with it, and then stuck it in the washing machine...the ink was gone, and the outfit was good as new.

Answer 2

yeah...that sucks. I have had it happen to me tooo many times. I nthe old days milk with it's lactic acid usually did the trick....but today's inks are made from different chemicals.

Here is the site I went to to get my ink remover and it works !
