The stain has been in there for over a couple weeks .I have used clorox bleach on it i don’t know how times I have soaked it and washed it in bleach. I do not want to to use that anymore cause I’m afraid i’ll ruin the shirt. So i stopped bleaching it now I don’t kow what to use. Please help? I need something good not too high but not a cheap brand that sucks either.
The pen was a black gel pen

    sorry but if you had taken it to a dry cleaner first you would have had better luck now you have pretty much set the stain in don’t listen to people who say use hair spray I worked for a dry cleaner for about 5 years that not only doesn’t work but usually makes things worse if you take something like this to a dry cleaner FIRST they might not always get it out but the stuff they use wont set it in more and some times it will help more when you use other things AFTER you’re best bet is to either dye the shirt or get a new one

    I don’t know if it will work now since it’s been laundered and stuff, but aerosol hairspray will take out fresh ink, You lay the clothing on a towel and spray it until all the ink transfers to the towel, it works

    Hair spray often works, but since you’ve laundered it, you may be out of luck.

    Spray the ink spot with hair spray any kind and blot with a paper towel. Keep doing this untill the ink spot is gone.

    I don’t know if it’ll work now, now that you done stuff to the dress, but I heard that soaking it in milk works. Shoot, it’s good for menstrual stains, too.

    the only thing i can think of is try to take it to a dry cleaners to see if they can get the spot out,but make sure you tell them what you have used on it before,hopefully u didn’t put it in the dryer because if you did it might have set in and it might not come out.

    Rubbing Alcohol, used with cotton, works amazingly well. This happened to me recently & my spouse demonstrated it to me. Now I am prepared if it should happen again.

    Good Luck!
