    Ok. I don’t know if you’ll know what this is but there’s a product out there called grease lighting (no joke). If you spray some of it on the ink stain scrub and wash it should come out. It won’t damage your clothing at all. You can get it at a local walmart.

    Good Luck,

    if you take and put bleach in your water and let the washing machine go ahead and start turning then put your pants in it will take the stain out and will not bleed your pants. I have a two year old that has this problem almost everyday.but let washingmachine start before putting your clothes in there.it will be good as new

    I have had good success removing ink stains with Joe Campanelli’s Professional Formula Stain Remover. I buy it on QVC (see link below), but you can also google it and find it other places on the internet. You may have to apply it several times, but I’ve never had it fail to work.

    Hairspray. Simply wet the stained area with hairspray and scrub with a slightly damp towel.

    Ok a good thing to do, is put them in cold water for a few minutes, then put some rubbing alcohol on it, rub it in with a tooth brush, then rinse, then take a mixture of Dawn Dish Soap, and toothpaste(make sure its white toothpaste), and rub that on it with a toothbrush also. Let that sit on it for a few hours, and wash as normal. If the stain is still there try treating a few more times. Do NOT dry your pants if the stain is still there or it will never come out. That mixture should do the trick, it works every time for me!!

    I always wonder why people write "Read details" when one has to read the details to answer the question.

    Take them to the dry cleaners.

    The only thing tdhat I can think of is If it’s ball point ink, try spraying the spots with hair spray then launder as usual.

    Dab a little detergent on them before you wash them and if that doesnt work,put haorspray on it until it’s starchy and then soak it in witch hazel. Another run through the wash might be in order too.

    maybe you can dye the pants to a darker color, but the stain will not come out
