Cleaning up EasyFlow 9000 ink

[ChrisN]

Does anyone have any tricks for cleaning EasyFlow 9000 ink off of clothing? I stuck my pen in my pocket, and it happened to be on. :-( The ink bled out onto my white shirt, and now it doesn't come off. Help!

take a look at the check washing chemicals.

Chris, Try hair spray on the ink spot. I haven't tried it with easy flow ink but have done this on all other inks and it has worked well. Do the following before washing the garment. Spray a very liberal amount of hair spray on the ink spot and blot with a clean rag, repeat until the stain is gone. I have also used an old toothbrush to work the hair spray in. As I said this has always worked on other brands of ink.

I can't help because I never found a good solution. But I do give this advice - get a pocket saver.

I read somewhere that toothpaste liberally rubbed into the stain, leave to dry and then dropped in the washing machine, get the wife to show how to use it, if unsure:biggrin:

Take it to the cleaners, if they can not remove the stain..well the good news is you get a new shirt.

When this happened to me, with a brand new bespoke suit and permanent ink, I draped the suit over a bucket of warm water and detergent, with the pocket section submerged.
I went to bed and in the morning all the water in the bucket was over the kitchen floor - BUT the ink stain had gone!
It was almost worth the caustic comments of the wife!!!
Regards and the best of luck,
John

Thanks for the suggestions! That gives me something to try, anyway.
