Our daughter was in tears when she opened the dryer to find an ink pen had exploded and was all over her coveted designer jeans and shirts. I used aqua net heavily on the affected areas, and immediately put them in water, then transferred to washer. I washed in warm water with a pre-soak, and an extra rinse cycle. It came off her jeans completely and some of her shirts, but didn't come off pj's or tank tops. I was very surprised the hairspray actually worked. Our daughter was in tears when she opened the dryer

Rub it with a brush & after the ink is gone, put it in the washer. Milk is the fastest, pour some milk on the ink (DO NOT WET THE CLOTH with water) & let sit for 1 minute.

(THE PUMP KIND OF HAIRSPRAY WILL NOT WORK.) While clothing is still dry & you are ready to throw it in washer... shake can of AEROSOL hairspray really well & then spray on ink-marks, & even where a pen may have leaked into the shirt-pocket making a bigger mess, etc. Then consider waiting approximately 1 minute or less (DO NOT GIVE IT TIME TO DRY OUT).....& JUST TOSS IT IN WITH YOUR REGULAR LOAD OF CLOTHES. note: THE SECOND YOU SPRAY ON THE AEROSOL HAIRSPRAY, YOU WILL NOTICE THE INK SPOTS STARTING TO DISSEMINATE SLIGHTLY IN FRONT OF YOU. CAUTION: AFTER SPRAYING, IT IS BEST TO IMMEDIATELY TOSS IT INTO THE WASHER ALREADY FULL OF WATER & YOUR LAUNDRY DETERGENT YOU USE NORMALLY (do NOT wait, as it should not be allowed to dry before being added to the wash)! When clothing is removed from washer, you will no longer see the ink on the clothes---it's been a real lifesaver for me... as I've worked in an office for years; this miracle-tip has saved me a ton of money that I would've spent on replacement clothing! My mother taught me this trick over 25 years ago. First of all, purchase a can of AEROSOL hairspray (the cheaper the brand, the better). (THE PUMP KIND OF HAIRSPRAY WILL NOT WORK.)
