Splattering ink all over your favourite shirt is super annoying!
Don’t worry about it. It’s not necessarily ruined here’s how to get the ink stain out of your clothing without using bleach or stain removal detergent. We’ll be using plain white value soap to do most of the hard work. This is a great product to have in at home it’s not only good for removing ink stains but a whole host of other little household cleaning jobs too.
How to remove ink from clothes
Ink stain on collar of shirt which needs removing.
Dampen ink stain and rub ink stain with cheap white bathroom soap (the one you can buy in supermarkets for just a few pence)
Brush gently with an old toothbrush - not to hard you don't want to damage fibres.
Rinse - repeat if necessary then wash in washing machine with normal detergent and a cup of soda crystals - works for me!

    What if the object has already been washed and dried and the ink is still there I have tried the hairspray, oxy and sunlight bar soap...nothing

    hair spray will not work on gel type ink pens. carpet shampoo does a lot better.
