you need to use dawn.put your shorts under hot water,to get the area wet,then put some dawn on the spot,then rub it together,after that rinse area with hot water.dawn works best when getting any kind of stain out.it even works on blood stains.

Answer 5

Spray the stain with hairspray and wait about 15 mins.

Rinse with lukewarm water.

Take a bar of soap ( laundry soap like Fels Naptha or Octagon.  If you don't have those use Ivory ) and rub the soap into the stain.  Launder as usual.

FYI if you've put the shorts in the dryer after staining them it might be more difficult to remove.  Heat sets stains into fabric.

Answer 6

I assume you've tried spray & wash.  When that fails me I use Cascade and dry bleach mixed together and it works perfect.   Make a paste and rub it in.

Answer 7

rubbing with small drop by drop alcohol and squeeze the lemon where the stain in ur shorts.  

Answer 8

use milk if ala fails

Answer 9

First a bit of Hair spray, then rub with cold water.

Answer 10

I think rubbing alcohol should work.  If it doesn't, you can try shaving cream or hairspray.

1. Dab rubbing alcohol onto the ink spot.  Wait 2-3 minutes for the alcohol to penetrate and react with the ink.

2.  Blot the ink stain with paper towels or a clean cloth dampened with water or more rubbing alcohol.

If that does not remove the ink, you can try foaming shaving cream or hairspray. Use hairspray as your last resort because it can damage some fabrics.  

Good luck!

Answer 11

There are special products, especially for taking ballpoint ink out of clothing.   It's called something like 'stain wizzard' in my country and they have a line of small bottles, each for a different type of stain.

Ask in a shop.
