Ink Stain On Laundered Clothing

RE: Ink Stain On Laundered Clothing Post By Ashton T. (Guest Post) (05/11/2008) My husband left gel ink pens on his work uniform and then dried them with ink all over them! I tried hairspray, alcohol, OxyClean, nothing worked. Then I tried Goo Gone and put an old white towel underneath and I immediately began seeing it come out.

I wore it once, got dry erase marker on the front (kindergarten teacher) and was going to throw it away. Thank you so much for advising the nail polish!

Does anyone have anything on that type of material?

I tried it on my sons camoflage denim shorts then soaked in oxiclean. They are wearable again though you can still see a small dark spot where the most saturated ink spot was.

Don't waste your money on expensive stain removal products like I almost did today. Good Luck!!

I want to use hairspray. I already washed them once. Can I still get stain out? Jennifer Answers: RE: Ink Stain On Laundered Clothing When my boyfriend had a broken ink pen in his shirt he asked me if I can get the ink out. I put milk on the ink stain and scrubbed it a little with a old toothbrush and then threw it in the wash. It came out spotless. Good luck. (05/07/2005) By Christine RE: Ink Stain On Laundered Clothing I found rubbing alcohol ( yes the kind you buy in the drug store) to work well. Place a clean white towel under spot apply the alcohol to the perimeter of the stain first and then work your way in to the center of the area. Then turn the fabric inside out and treat the inside of the stain the same way. It should disappear. Good luck! (07/28/2005) By janet RE: Ink Stain On Laundered Clothing If you really really really want to salvage something, I recommend taking it to the dry cleaners before you do ANYTHING (I work at a dry cleaners). It's not guaranteed to come out, but it is definitely possible. If you are going to take it to a dry cleaners, and want the best possible chances of getting ink out, DO NOT TOUCH THE SPOT. Don't rinse it, don't put any sort of pre-soaker stuff on it. Just leave it alone. Worst case scenario, the ink stain won't come out at the dry cleaners, but you can try some other methods afterwards, since dry cleaning doesn't involve water, which sets stains. If it's not a huge ink stain, just go straight to these other methods and skip the cleaners. Good luck!

Thank you. (01/02/2006) By Wendy RE: Ink Stain On Laundered Clothing I heard spraying hairspray on the stain and then washing it works (03/02/2006) By wendy RE: Ink Stain On Laundered Clothing HAIRSPRAY! I just laughed a bit ago when someone told me to try it, but I did it and I was amazed! It took no more than 5 seconds for the stain to completely disappear from sight! Amazing! (04/30/2006) By wldntulike2kno RE: Ink Stain On Laundered Clothing A bar of white soap (Ivory, Dove), is a wonder at stain removal. Wet the spot, rub in the soap, let set then wash as usual. I have removed everything from ink to lipstick (the lipstick item had been run through the dryer also). Try it you will be glad you did. (04/30/2006) By Lynn Report Spam or Abuse
