How do I get ink stains out of my clothes?


We washed a large load and somehow missed a pen in one of the pockets. We didn't catch it until after the clothes had gone through the dryer

Hairspray! Spray it on thick and rinse as you go. It will take it off any surface too, you may want to spray a paper towel and wipe down your washer so you dont get it on the next load. Also the cheaper the better; tresseme or aqua net is great for this.

if its ball point, spray n wash or shout should work - just make sure you leave it on 5-10 minutes before laundering but don't let it dry out. If its a sharpie or a permanent ink, you could try blotting it with an acetone soaked cotton ball -
Carbona makes special stain removers for specific stains. They are usually in a grocery or market in small triangular shaped bottles. Good Luck!

You can't. Ink is just like dye, and permanent. Especially after it has been set by a rinse in cold water followed by a hot dryer.

You could try some hairspray, if that doesn't work use alcohol. Dab don't rub.

Good luck

I hope that I have helped
