Ingredients

1 can any hairspray, the cheaper the better

Directions

Spray ink stain with a liberal amount of hairspray.

Rinse with cold water and repeat until stain is gone.

If you have delicate fabric (such as silk) test the hairspray in a hidden area to see if it fades the fabric. Spray, rinse and dry with a hairdryer on low heat to test the colorfastness.

This will work on upholstery and vinyl as well.

LOL! I learned this one when I worked in the banks!! Don't know why 'the cheaper the better', but that is sooooo correct!

This really,really works! I had an entire ink pen explode on my sofa. The stain was about the size of a golf ball. Maybe a little larger. I used a lot of hairspray and was very patient. I would spray then blot. It all came out.

Thanks for the tip. It's amazing that the old tricks are much better that all the new "chemicals".

I sure wish that I had known this. I threw away a white shirt that an ink pen burst on the first time I wore it!

Rubbing alcohol is really good for removing ink also. i had a printer ink cartridge leak a large puddle on a white shelf in my closet. i didnt find it til after it had tried and set awhile. i poured some rubbing alcohol on a paper towel and just wiped it all away. i do this at work with ink stamps as well (teacher). works well for removing sticky stuff like stickers and labels also.
