    Even better than Aerosol Hairspray is hairspray in a pump bottle. Use that, blot with cloth (not tissue). Might want to followup with a Clotox bleach pen if the shirt is white, or use Clorox for colors when u wash. Shout in the bottle with the plastic rub i applicator on top can help. Most importantly, don’t dry the shirt i the dryer!! You might want to treat it a few times in different ways just in case.

    OH andn WD-40 is excellent on spots. If you’ve tried a lot of other things, may want to spray on some WD-40 (use the thin nozzle) and then use the shout and wash. If I am not mistaken wd-40 has worked on ink.

    Good luck, I hate stains!

    I once busted an ink pen all over my new shirt while I was at school. Hairspray worked wonders. Dab the stain (don’t wipe) to get rid of all of the excess ink. Then spray the stain a few times with any type of hairspray. You may have to do this several times to get rid of all of the ink. Good Luck! :)

    Before you wash ink stained clothes, tip a little milk over the stain, then wash in the usual manner.

    The milk and the contents within the milk will help the stain to be broken down. As a result it will come out the wash clean with the ink stain gone!

    Hope this helps~any other questions don’t be afraid to ask
