Answer 2

Hairspray works great on ballpoint ink.

You ccan use aerosol or non-aerosol hairspray.  It doesn't matter.

Saturate the stain with the hairspray and wait about 15 mins.

Rinse in lukewarm water.

Take a bar of laundry soap or plain white soap. like Ivory, and rub it into the stain,  Rinse, again, in lukewarm water and launder as usual.

You can find laundry bar soap in the detergent aisle.

Zote, Octagon and Fels Naptha are the  names.  I like Fels Naptha the best.

Answer 3

yes, hairspray works. spray it then use an old toothbrush to give it a bit of a scrub then wash it as usual
