    Default please help me with an ink stain

    I'm ironing my hubby's dress shirts and I just discovered an ink stain on the pocket of his favorite shirt.

    Any suggestions to get the stain out?

    Thanks!

    hairspray...spray it on the ink spot and launder as usual. After the wash, before the dry cycle check it and see if it needs reapplication.

    Rubbing alcohol is good for getting out ball point pen and some marker's ink. Pour some on a clean cloth and dab away at the stain, using a new clean section of the cloth every time you dab and get some ink out.
    “When you get to the end of all the light you know
    and it's time to step into the darkness of the unknown,
    faith is knowing that one of two things will happen:
    you will be given something solid to stand on,
    or you will be taught how to fly.” - Edward Teller


    “Our Earth is degenerate in these later days;
    there are signs that the world is speedily
    coming to an end;
    bribery and corruption are common; children no
    longer obey their parents;
    every man wants to write a book and the
    end of the world is evidently approaching.”
    — From a translation of an inscription on
    an Assyrian clay tablet, circa 2800 B.C.E.

    God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
    courage to change the things I can,
    and the wisdom to know the difference    .
