Removing Ink Stains from Clothing: Tried and True Methods

In summary, to remove ink stains from clothing, you can try using rubbing alcohol or a stain remover specifically designed for ink stains.

Anyone know how to get ink out of clothing that took a wash with a pen? I've tried Shout and Oxyclean with no luck..Oxy faded it a little but still a long way to go.

Thanks for any and all suggestions and if they're tried and true all the better! :)
 
That's so much fun. Hair spray or Avon's Skin So Soft (original only) might still get it out. Hope it helps.
 
I just washed my shirt yesterday with pen marks on the back of my shirt. Spray and Wash took them completely out!
 
Hairspray may work, also. Used it many times when I was in healthcare -- I was always getting ink on my scrubs!
 
Hairspray ... spray and blot ... spray and blot ... spray and blot ...
