How do I get pen ink out of a white chef's jacket??

Tina have you tried bleach?

Years ago my mother-in-law told me that hairspray removes ink stains. Though skeptical I tried it and it worked. I used hairspray in a pump not aerosol and kept spraying the stain until it started to run. Then washed the article and the stain was gone. The article was white colored. Hope it works for you.

Hair spray any kind, saturate it but don't panic as it will look like its bleeding out. Wash in cold water, line dry then repeat if needed.

Oh! Bleach was not a good idea! I bought some Clorox Precision Pour Bleach Gel that you could do a color fastness test before using! Good luck!

Hair spray and make sure you put paper towels underneath so the ink can bleed into the paper towels. Good luck

Hairspray works well, soak the area for 5 minutes then wash as usual.

my sister used to pour hot milk over an ink stain. then work on removing the fat stain - easier than ink

and it worked. Doesn't affect colours

Rubbing alcohol works as well. Soak a cotton ball with alcohol and apply it to the stained area repeatedly until the stain disappears.

Didn't work.
