Help! I have ballpoint ink on my favourite shirt.

Removing ballpoint ink from clothing can be difficult. Check the care label of the garment. If it says to dry clean, take the shirt to a dry cleaner and they may be successful in removing the ink. If the shirt is washable, try this ink removal method. Remember to always test stain removal products on a hidden area of the garment. Place the garment, ink side down, onto a white paper towel or old cloth such as a face cloth. Saturate a cotton ball with rubbing alcohol and hold this on the backside of the ink. As the ink is dissolved, it will be absorbed into the paper towel and away from the shirt. Then work liquid dish detergent or Sunlight Laundry Bar Soap into the area and rinse thoroughly; launder as usual.
