You can try soaking your clothes in a container with a 2 parts water to 1 part bleach solution. Make sure that your water is hot, and you can let it soak for up to an hour before you need to rinse and start over. This should get the stain to pretty much go away, but pen ink is one of those tough stains. You could also use Nature's Miracle to try and get the stain out. It's not the most traditional method, but it got the three month old blood stains from when my mom dragged her foot out of our slate-grey carpet. The stuff works wonders, I swear. You can find Nature's Miracle in some supermarkets, but your best bet is go to a pet store and look for the carpet cleaner/stain and odor removers.

Instead of trying to erase the problem, let the ink stain work for you.
Add additional inky, coloured shapes to the stain and possibly make a recognised shape, or go abstract. In no time your peers will be asking where you managed to buy this new artwork concept!
Your boss might regard the design as a great idea for a new company logo! I have a feeling things are going to go cosmic! Have a nice Christmas!

I always find that Aerus/Electrolux carpet shampoo works good on ink stains. You just pour it on full strength and do some hand scrubbing. Then throw it in the wash. It may take a few washes to get the stain out but it works.

I think hairspray is too late for this stain, but next time try it out. It works great on ink.
Spray the hairspray onto the ink, let it sit, then rinse and air dry. Repeat until the stain is close to gone, then launder but don't dry it until you're sure you've gotten it all out.

Try Stain-Devil- you can buy from most supermarkets.
I had the same problem last week, this is a great product, give it a try.
Make sure you buy the one for ink though.
Best of luck and Merry Xmas!! xx

Hairspray. Spray the stains with hairspray, apply pre-treating stain product, wash. Check before drying to make sure all ink has been removed.

you need the stain devil for ink - but you may have to do it a few times. leave it as long as possible. it will go eventually. use a toothbrush to work the liquid in too. i managed to gt the ink out of my husbands white shirt but it did take a few goes. failing that, dry cleaners but try the beckmans stain devil first. good luck and nice evening.

You could try hairspray but I hope you have not dried it in the dryer then it won`t come off! Try pouring Hydrogen Peroxide on the spot. Good Luck!

You'll never get it all the way out, so dye your uniform the color of the ink or trash it!
