Help!

Took about 8 mins in total! Thanks for the tips!

Thank goodness she did not dry them. After they set in the laundry room for a week, (I didnt want to tackle this mess) I poured generic fingernail polish remover on the stains followed by rubbing alcohol and then hairspray. Scrubbed with a hairbrush and washed in cold water. Stains are all gone. This did not take long (about an hour total) and the jeans were stained head to toe both sides. I may have over killed it with all the stuff but I saved myself about $400. Jeans look like new!

But one thing people fail to mention is to tie a rubber band around the stain (like tie dying) and then soak or scrub (both work well). And this is where people go wrong. Rinse with COLD water, not Hot but cold. Hot sets the stain in. Wash and Dry separately from their clothes. I am not sure though if you are to wash and dry or just dry.

I haven't put it in dryer yet, but I'm a little afraid because as I was scrubbing it in, a little bit of the color was coming out from what I could see. But do I put it in the washing machine too, the the dryer or just the dryer. Please Help Editor's Note: I'd wash it in the washer with laundry detergent first, then through the dryer.

I used the lemon juice method, and nothing has seemed to work. Will someone help me?

I also used a spray can of carb cleaner and that worked good as well. The carburetor cleaner has acetone and methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) which is used as a paint remover.

(keep in mind, computer ink is oil based) acmoffitt05(at)aol(dot)com Editor's Note: Because it is oil based, I'd try some Dawn dishwashing liquid on the spots.

I used Germ-X Hand Sanitizer and straight Rubbing Alcohol and it removed the stain completely!! Thanks!

I read all the posts then I had a lightbulb moment! So I tried it and it worked like a charm. I used the new Mr. Clean Eraser and wet it and rubbed the stain. It nearly all disappeared, I took rubbing alcohol and a toothbrush to the now very light red streak and it was gone.

Unfortunatily I didn't check my sons pockets, he had an ink pen in his pocket. I'll try the alcohol treatment next. Thanks Jim G Report Spam or Abuse Ink Stain On My Jeans!! Post By Scott (Guest Post) (02/17/2006) Hi, i put a pen in my pocket, but the lid came off and i have 3 black blotches showing on the outside. After reading these replies, the first thing i tried was some white wine but i was not sure if that was strong enough so i got some hair spray but that hasn't seemed to work either. Just to give me an idea of what to do... Do i spray quite a bit of hairspray (maybe rub it in a little) and put um' in the washing machine or leave them for abit and rinse it off with warm water? please help Scott Editor's Note: Hi Scott, The active ingredient in the hair spray is alcohol. Usually the cheaper the hairspray, the better it works. You can also use isopropol alcohol. Wet it down good, let it sit a while, and then wash. Don't dry the shirt until it is all removed. You may have to repeat. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Ink Stains On Jeans Post By kimmyt3 (Guest Post) (11/06/2005) well low and behold my son washed clothes...

Aqua Net is the best, and it has to be canned aerosal, not pump! good luck! Report Spam or Abuse RE: Ink Stains On Jeans Post By laundrymat attendant (Guest Post) (03/10/2005) 3 different products that will work like a charm. RUBBING ALCOHOL is one, put opening of bottle over stain and tip up. ZOUT is a godsent product not only does it get out ink, but anything else also ( i swear by it!!!). 3rd suggestion is SIMPLE GREEN. all of the above suggestions, once applied, scrub area with fingernail or brush to penetrate product into clothing and wash in luke warm water with a GOOD soap ( tide, gain, surf, era) no purex please!!!
