Apple cider vinegar gets most stains out.
acetone free nail polish remover. Make sure it is acetone free! Test in a small hidden area like the underside of a belt loop, because sometimes it will "melt" the cloth if it is synthetic (polyester, etc). or Isopropyl rubbing alcohol, although this hasn;t really worked for me. Make sure you DO NOT put ur clothes through the dryer until after you tried to remove stain, because that sets the stain and after that it is pretty permanent.
Rubbing alcohol ALWAYS works for me in the time of ink-in-the-clothes crisis.
If you have a little wet nap or something similar, try that. If not, take a Q-tip and dip it your rubbing alcohol bottle and blot the stains with it. Works like magic.
I read you can paint with milk, then paint with a solution of 1 part viniger and 1 part cornstarch. Then BLOT with rubbing alcohol.Make sure paper towel is under stain to absorb the ink. Here at home I have some spray called OOPS and I hear you can use WD-40. But remember just BLOT. What you do is push the ink down into the paper towel under the stain. You don't want to 'rub' into the adjacent threads. Hope something works, good luck!
# Place an absorbent paper towel or rag under the stain.
# Saturate the stain with an alcohol-based hair spray.
# Blot the stain with a rag or paper towel.
# Repeat, if necessary, until stain is removed.
Not all hair sprays are alcohol based. Usually the cheaper ones.
Aqua Net Hairspray is the best thing to get ink out. Spray it on liberally, then rub a little and wash it right away.
It worked on my Dad's Marine Corps Khakis.
At the dollar store they sell Awesome , it is a degreaser and something else, you just spray a little on it and it should come off. I've used it for grass stains, blood, dried paint and alot of other things and it takes it out.
Don't wash and dry them. Try using hairspray and blotting repeatedly.
Hairspray has always worked for me.
The best way to remove ballpoint ink from cloth and skin is Hair Spray. Spray the garment, then wash it immediately.
