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!Helpful Reply -

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/Helpful Reply -

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.1 marked as helpful Reply -
