I recently got an ink stain on my favorite khaki pants, I have no idea how it happened, but I've washed them twice after using both oxiclean and shout, and nothing worked. What can I do? I have a limited wardrobe and those pants are an integral part of it....I have to get that ink out! Hopefully someone has some brilliant advice for me. Thanks!!!!
No problem, if you can find this product. They are called Carbona Stain Devils. I am a nurse and have used these to remove liquid iron (medication), blood, ink, red juice, and many other "unremovable" stains. They have them at my HEB, but not all of them. They used to have them at Walmart, but stopped carying them.
Try spraying it really well with hairspray. Keep it it wet for several hours. Then use the OxiClean and try washing again. If you notice it fading try it again...it may take several tries. This works best with ballpoint ink as opposed to permanent marker, but you might try it anyway at this point.
try using spray and wash in the can. just coat it on there real good and use an old tooth brush or somthing and work it in real good. let it set overnight and wash. If that doesnt work but it should, try clorox 2 doing the same process. hope this helps.
S.,
here is a link with several suggestions, including the hairspray.
This is one that I thought was crazy...until I tried it myself.
LYSOL...believe it or not! I used to teller at a bank (back in the dark ages) and had ink all up and down the sleeve of a very comfortable white blazer. A good customer of ours came in, saw it and told me how to get rid of it. He was a sales rep for a major undergarment company and said that this trick is what they use.
Spray the **** out of the spot and use your nail to rub it a bit. You will see the stain breaking up. It may take a wash or two to get it out completely but it WORKS! Did great on my husband's white Navy uniforms too...unless he marked them with Sharpie!
