Help! How do I get blue ink from a leaking pen out?

[merh]

I just got the blue ink on a blouse I just bought yesterday x(

What do I do, how do I get the spot out - PLEASE HELP!

1. saturate with hair spray......don't wet it.......

and keep blotting away until you can get most of it off.....spray, blot........

then launder.

this helped me at least get ink off some beige pants.

5. Does wetting it defeat the hair spray?

I had to wet it, it was all over the blouse and was about to get on my slacks -- no hair spray here at the office

I'm doomed, aren't I x(



thank you for your help

8. I don't think so.......I "wet" my first ink stained pair of pants......

or rather, I put water on it first.


No, try the hair spray saturate/blot method. It may take some time but you can work out most of the stain.
Then wash the garment as usual. :)

2. I've had good luck with OxiClean Spray

I had blood on some fabric and it removed all traces of it.
Don't know how it would be on ink but it should be worth a try.

10. thank you

I'll be sure to get some of that.

3. if it is a white blouse, use straight Clorox bleach

if it is color, use color bleach, but it isn't nearly as strong.

my limited knowledge.

4. Hairspray works amazingly well on ballpoint ink.

Keep spraying and it should literally dissolve right in front of your eyes.

6. I don't have any hair spray here at the office

what do I do, is it a lost cause?

thanks for you help :hug:

12. Sorry to hear about this, but in my experience, blue ink is usually

indelible. What kind of fabric is the blouse made of?

You can try the Clorox Bleach Pen if you can find it.



But be prepared to part with the blouse -- I'm sorry to say.
