Answer 1

Have you tried Dawn dish soap and lemon juice?

You can also use coca cola for the grease.

Rubbing alcohol and hairspray for ink.

Answer 2

Army_sis is right . Dawn is great for grease. and I have always used hairspray for ink stains. Make sure that you put something in back of the shirt to absorb the residue.

Answer 3

use Vanish, its a kind of stain remover that you can buy - it comes in all forms but i use the soap shaped one - and you basically rub it into the stain and then leave it to soak in warm water and the stain should come out. you can buy it in most places i think, its fairly cheap

Answer 4

use soda for the ink and gas liquid to the grease.

*  Blot the stains as soon as it happens.

    * Always pretest the stain removal product on a hidden area first.

    * Work on the back of the stain to the front.

    * Treat all the stains as soon as they happen. Fresh stains come out easier.

    * Be gentle. Avoid rubbing which will damage the clothing fibers.

    * Always use cold or warm water. Hot water will usually set a stain

    * Do not dry the clothing in the dryer until you are certain the stain is completely removed.

Answer 6

Ok, here's a very simple home remedy which I use a lot: Rub in a couple of drops of dishwashing liquid directly on the stains, only this has to be done when the clothes are dry. Fold up the clothes and let tham sit for a few hours. Ideally you should do that in the morning, and actually wash the clothes in the evening.

Here's how it works: dishwashing liquid removes tough grease from plates and other dishes, so logically it removes grease from any surface.

As to ink, regular laundry detergent should do the trick, but I would suggest using the dishwashing liquid trick on ALL stains, cause that stuff's powerful.

Good luck!! =]

Answer 7

Hairspray for the ink--just put something between the layers,due to you do not want the ink to bleed thru.  Dawn for the grease--let it sit for while.  Good Luck!   +++
