i have a yellow cotton knit tee shirt, got a ballpoint pen stain on it. someone said to use hairspray to remove stain, it didn't. now i have hairspray stain on the shirt, i washed it a couple of time, but still doesn't come out, i used cold water wash. any suggestions would be helpful, i don't want to throw out my shirt.
I find that a combination of Shaklee's Basic H2 and Nature Bright scrubbed into it works on just about everything!

There are those bleach pens in grocery stores etc. as well as for colors. They aren't expensive and they do work. You could also make a paste of baking soda and warm water. Make sure it is pasty and not watery. Apply it to the stain, let it sit for about a half hour and put it in the washer on warm water, not cold. Once washed do not put it in the dryer, let it hang dry or lie it on a towel. Toothpaste works as well, apply it to the stain, spread it around, let it sit and again repeat the washing instructions. You may find the toothpaste works quicker. I actually used it on a pen mark on a white shirt and scrubbed it a bit, even use an old toothbrush, let it stand and wash.
Good luck!! You won't have to throw your shirt out!!
I don't know if it will work, but I use Dawn dish soap on any kind of oily stain. Works like a charm. If the hairspray stain has any oil in it, the Dawn will break it up...
I don't know what to do now besides try the bleach pen. I usually use rubbing alcohol on ink,even sharpie markers usually comes out! Good luck!
Sounds ruined to me. You can ask the cleaners but if pen is already set in it wount come out. I dont know WHY the myth about hairspray on pen...??? It doesnt make sense anyway.
