How do you remove pen ink from clothing?

Answer 1

ink stain is a mineral stain,these are compounds of a metal & dye. therefore acidic reagents should be used first to act on the metal,followed by dilute alkaline solutions to neutralize the acid reagent & to remove the dye. thus water,soap,cut tomata,lime,sour milk,starch,paste,oxalic acid,borax solution or methyl alcohol can be used. this will surely help.

Answer 2

Hairspray. Spray it on the ink and launder as usual. Make sure you look to see if the stain is out before you dry it - if not, repeat as needed. If you dry the clothing before the stain is gone, it'll be there forever.

Answer 3

I have removed ink with cold water, place oxyclean product on the stain as a paste. Then let it sit over night launder.

Answer 4

Alcohol works. If you don't have plain rubbing alcohol, hair spray or nail-polish remover can work as well, as they have high alcohol content.

If you put the clothing in the dryer before the stain is out, it may be there permanently.
