Spray regular hair spray on ink marks of washable fabrics then launder as usual. It works!

I use milk..Yes, it is strange but it works. Get the piece of fabric that has an ink mark/stain, put some warm milk into a bowl and put the piece of fabric into the bowl. Wait a few minutes and wash with warm water.

When I’m at work, I keep the small alcohol pads (like used in first aid kits) in my pocket and scrub the ink marks out this works great.

I’m at work and didn’t have any hair spray, milk, or alcohol pads, but I did have some Hand Sanitizer (which is mostly alcohol) and I rubbed a small amount of it on the red ink I got on my beige shirt. Worked great and shirt is better than new…because now my it should be germ free too!
