Question

Anyone know any secrets to get out ball point pen ink stains? I have some on cotton thats already been dry cleaned nothing has worked yet.. :( thanks in advance

Answer 1

Try nail varnish remover on the stain. But it will depend on the materiel.

Answer 2

Shout with oxy.  i use it on  a pair of khaki pants that had blank ink on them and. i use the shout with oxy on it and came right out.

i have also used it to remove permant marker

Answer 3

Get a cheap aerosol hairspray, like Aquanet, and some paper towels. Spray the hairspray on the stain and blot, don't rub, with the paper towels. Keep spraying and blotting. I'm not sure if this will get it all out, as it's already been dry cleaned, but this always works for me. Good luck!

Answer 4

If it is cotton, look in the laundry aisle at your local store for a product called Zout.  I have been using it for years and have saved any number of my husband's shirts with it. Sometimes it takes two applications, but it beats having to throw the shirt away...

Also, the stuff is so gentle you can use it to handwash delicates.
