Thank you, Bobby's Girl, for this nice tip!! Spray and Wash is nice but I found Oxyclean to beat that a mile. Oxyclean will remove old set-in stains! We can't get Biz powder in our location. Perhaps Naphtha Soap will work. It's always been advertised to get out the toughest stains! Will let you know if this works when I try. Thank you so much for this help!!
:D
For removing a stain, Oxyclean works, but using Spray and Wash on ballpoint pen ink isn't the same as removing a stain. I don't know what's in it that makes it remove ink, but it works. If the ink is fresh, just spraying it causes it to start fading.
Thanks for that tip!! Oxyclean is the best!! My hair spray started the ink spreading and made it worse and I have never had that happen before!
**Here's a great tip with Spray and Wash:**
I never use Spray and Wash for its intended purpose but keep it handy only for keeping the chrome polished in the bathroom. There's no hard work involved. Spray and Wash automatically spiffs up the shine on chrome!!! Finish it off when dried with a soft cloth. It'll sparkle!!
