How do you remove ink stains with home remedies?

To remove ink stains at home, treat the stain and wash the fabric. This method works best for ball point pen ink.

1. Get the supplies

   You need rubbing alcohol, aerosol hairspray, a washing machine and laundry detergent to remove ink stains.

2. Treat the stain

   Treat the stain as soon as possible. Spray the stain with the hair spray, or apply plain rubbing alcohol. Allow the liquid to sit on the stain, but don't let it dry on the clothing.

3. Wash the clothing

   Immediately put the article of clothing into the washer, and wash as usual with detergent. Let the garment air dry to ensure that the stain is gone.
