Ink Stain on Khaki Pants

RE: Ink Stain on Khaki Pants Post By Pebbles (Guest Post) (06/19/2008) I am at work and just got a small line of purple ink on my brand new Khaki pants! I still have 7 hours of work! Will the stain set before I can get home and wash put hairspray on it?

Rubbing alcohol helped but didn't remove the stains (and would have taken forever). Soap and hairspray had little or no effect. However, washing the pants with 3/4 cup bleach got rid of almost all the stains! Note that this may not have worked if they had been through the dryer.

It basically disappears in areas where the ink is light, and with a little rubbing it disappears in the dark spots too!

Thanks. Report Spam or Abuse deep crease on pants that were let out Post By dee (Guest Post) (09/17/2006) I had my husbands khakis let out in the seat and I cannot get the crease out where the seams were. They are "no wrinke" pants. Any ideas?

Also, hairspray works well for ink. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Ink Stain on Khaki Pants Post By Guest (Guest Post) (06/14/2004) Hairspray can remove ink stains.
