If the tag reads that it is hand washable or you can launder the item then let's get started. A few items that you can try on the ink stain are Spot Remover, Nail Polish Remover, Cleaning Fluid, a Petroleum (oil) based pre wash spray (like spray and wash) but make sure you test the item in a little spot before using this on the stained area so you don't bleach out the colors as well.

Placing the garment stain side down on a few paper towels and then dabbing your cleaner on the stain using a paper be sure to soak the stained area. The ink stain will come through to the other side so you will need to move your material to a clean paper towel every few minutes so that the paper towel can soak up the ink. Be sure not to let the ink stain that you are trying to get out touch other areas of the shirt or material that you are trying to clean or you will have another stain to get out!

Do not put this in the dryer until you are sure you have gotten all the stain out or you will be setting the stain!

I have gathered numerous other methods for the removal of ink from fabric so read on for more ideas......

Try using hair spray to lift the ink stain out of your most delicate clothing.

You can also remove ink stains on colored fabrics by soaking the the material in milk overnight and then launder as usual.

If your ink stain is on a white fabric or white material, use a bit of lemon juice and salt made into a paste and then rub the ink stained area. Letting the material hang dry in the sun will leave your white material quite stain free!

Have you ever had a pen in your pocket only to have it explode in you jeans? You can use rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle and generously spray the ink stained area to lift the stain out. Using a larger amount of rubbing alcohol will be sure to get the stain out of your denim material. Dabbing the area with a dry towel you will see the ink come out with the mixture! Be sure not to dry your jeans until you have lightened the stained completely.

I have found that hairspray will dissolve ball point pen ink. I have used it to easily remove ink from painted walls and from clothing

To remove ink stains from clothing, spray with hair spray. As you spray you will see the ink dissolve. As it dissolves, rinse it under lukewarm water. Repeat process until ink is gone.
