Product to get out ballpoint pen ink stain?
#1
I don't even want to go into why I have ink stains on a quilt but does anyone know of a product that works well at getting ink stains out? I tried the dry cleaners already with no luck. All they mananged to do was really wrinkle the quilt. :(

Heloise use to tell us to use hair spray, it loosens the ink. It's the alcohol in it, so use some alcohol then wash gently with a detergent that has a solvent in it. But, THAT part I don't know. I had a friend who had a leather couch and grand baby smeared ink on it.....oh boy, it was panic and the alcohol sponging faded it to almost nothing. So what if she could have washed it??? worth a try if you don't bet some great professional advice........Good Luck, Ruth

I srt of always figured if the stain didn't come out at the dry cleaners, it was now set in because they use a lot of heat in their processes. I have used hair spray on clothing to get ink out. Just spritz it and let it soak a bit and then wash.

Several years ago my boss had a new white shirt on and he stuck a uniball pen without the cap into his pocket and had an ink spot the size of a dime. I went to the store and got him a bottle of Soilove and that night he used it and the ink came out of that white shirt.
