Want to know how to easily remove pen ink from clothing? Check this out!! I was getting pen ink all over my jacket while shopping and crossing items off of my list. Not to panic though b/c I know how to easily remove it!
Now even though I was marking up my new coat with pen ink, I DID NOT PANIC! I know the magic solution of how to remove pen ink from clothing! The answer? HAIRSPRAY!
Get an aerosol spray bottle of hairspray and sprtiz a healthy amount on the ink spot.
Get a damp sponge and rub the hairspray into the ink stain. I believe that the alcohol in the hairspray is the solvent that breaks down the ink and makes it disappear.
Here is my coat after just a minute of spraying with hairspray and rubbing out the ink. You may need to do this a couple of times for the ink to fully disappear.
Here is the fabric after the hairspray and water from the sponge has dried. Now my coat is dry and ink free! Pretty cool, right??
