First of all, purchase a can of AEROSOL hairspray (the cheaper the brand, the better). (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.
