 |
|
How do you remove red ink stains. I am pissed off that my nice shirt has a red stain. I sprayed it with hair spray, and it still did not do the trick. I just put it in the wash to see if it that will do anything. Should I take it to the dry cleaners? I don't want to just toss it in the trash. It's a good shirt. I was tired at my job, and I had a pen in my pocket and it leaked all this ink.
I just want to try to salvage the shirt before trying to replace it... |

| hairspray will work, but you've got to use lots, and lay an old towel or something underneath the ink, so it will be drawn out of your shirt and into the towel |

I tried doing that, but I had moderate success with that. I gave it to the cleaners to see if they can do something about it. |

When I was in high school, I shook a pen to get it to work, and it sprayed a swath of ink across my new $100 pair of Guess jeans.
Who remembers Guess jeans?
Anyway, I scrubbed with a toothbrush and cheap hairspray for about 30 minutes, and it went away.
If the ink has dried, your SOL. |
