Ink Pen on Uniform?!?

Question

My husband left an inkpen in his pocket and it exploded all over his White Polyester uniform!! (his "summer whites") I've scrubbed with dreft stain remover but it hasn't totally came out! Any other ideas?!

Answer 1

I know the answer to this one.  Get some REALLY CHEAP HAIRSPRAY and spray said ink stains.  They should almost melt before your very eyes, then launder as usual.  Should come right out.  I learned this after going through several white shirts covered in felt tip and ink pens when I worked for Kennedy Space Center.  Hope this helps you!  Good luck!

Answer 2

That happened to me also....I used liquid Oxiclean on both sides of stains..let it sit for a couple of hours , then resprayed and scubbed with a toothbrush, then washed as usual...it all came out!

Answer 3

try using tide to go.
