My DH wears sleeveless undershirts and no matter what we try they always turn a dingy gray. How can we keep them white or make them white, again?
I had a set ink stain on a white lab coat, I didn't know the pen was in the coat until after I pulled it out of the dryer... there was 3 giant ink stains plus a couple little ones too! I was soooo upset! But trust me, there's hope!!! I used rubbing alcohol first, I would put a paper towel under one side, pour a little on the stain, soak and blot repeatdetly ( I tried using a damp cloth too) I was then stuck with a half gone stain and still thought I was going to have to replace this 100$ stupid coat (it's for school, so the coat is very important, and one with huge stains would look unprofessional.)
so then moved to soaking in bleach and warm for 20-30 mins... It didn't really do anything.
next was rubbing alcohol, dawn dish soap, and baking soda. 10-15 mins, light and hard scrubbing with a toothbrush. This helped more. I was down to a barely but still noticeable stain that made me still question if I'd have to buy another coat.
next I tried shand sanitizer, hand massaging it in the stain for 10 mins and then hand wash In the sink and ...Nothing.
I gave it my last and final option with nail polish remover, using the same (paper towel underneath, pour a little, then blot with paper towel) method with some toothbrush scrubbing action .... And BOOM! remaning ink was completely gone with in 2-3 mins!
I was flabbergasted ! Hope this helps anyone too!
There is a stain remover for artists. It works quite well. You can get it at amazon but I am posting the link to the home page. I'm an artist and this works better than anything else I have ever used. However, if the ink is Sharpie, I don't think it will work. And if the article of clothing has been wash, heater dried or ironed, it may not work as well. http://www.kissoff.com/
Since the garment went through the dryer, it is probably permanent...If the garment is not 100% cotton, don't use bleach. Just some facts.
Cheap hair spray. Watch the ink dissolve.
