    Hair spray is great for getting out ball point pen markings.

    last month GS wrote on microseude chairs. Tide pen worked! He was much easier to clean- baby wipes.

    I have had good luck by spraying some OxyMagic on the ink stain and then putting full strength laundry detergent right on top immediately. Then I let it sit for 15 minutes before I wash it.
    Good Luck!

    I worked in a clothing store and we used hair spray to get ball point ink out if that doesn't do the job try milk :-P

    Like everyone else said, hairspray works great. But, whenever I have a set-in stain (or the item has gone through a hot dryer), I've used Fels-Naptha to remove whatever the offending mark was. It's worked on ink, mustard, oils, blood, etc. They actually still carry it at my local Wegman's in the laundry aisle -- $1.00 for the bar. Cheap and cheerful, and doesn't leave a ring like some sprays can.

    arialsol hairspray works. I just spray and throw in the dirty close basket and wash later. do let it set up for a little while.

    As I said on another post, Oxyclean works miracles. It took red wine out of our off-white carpet.

    Thanks!
    I always heard that final net aerosol in the can. Hope that helps.

    Hair Spray will do it just keep spraying until it disappears. I have used it many times.
