Help?! How to get ink stain out of pants pocket???
Well, DH has a new habit it seems...he keeps leaving a pen open in his pants pocket. How do I get that ink stain out of the pants? sigh.... I've used cheap hair spray on ink marks...but this doesn't seem to be helping...

Products I've used for weird stains are a biz soak, oxyclean, shout, and from the $ store- la's totally awesome laundry pre-wash spray. Comes in a squirt bottle & you can't beat the price. Works well for me. Good luck.
PS- have you thought to have him wear only black or navy slacks??

Believe it or not, hair spray has saved so many of my nursing uniforms. Just spray it on the ink a little at a time and it goes away and does not come back. Just like hydrogen peroxide takes blood out of fabrics.

I know you said hair spray wasn't working...I'm with Nan on the alcohol as next to try. If it's a gel pen...good luck! Also, this is not my business, but an idea...when my husband repeatedly does the same thing, I use some tough love. He has to figure out how to solve the problem. He's making the problem, so he can solve it. Sounds rough, but really, he will figure out a way to not have it happen again. (Hubs leaves for church earlier than I and leaves his hearing aids at home. Calls me to bring them to him. After a few times of my also "forgetting" them, he's figured out how to remember them!)
Edited to add: I have been married almost 47 years, and it took many, many years of "pleasing"to get to the point of allowing him be responsible for his mistakes. Just sayin'.

I have had good luck getting ink out using oxy clean and Spray and Wash. My DH has a habit of leaving pension his shirt pockets. He is a landscaper and his clothes are gross dirty. Luckily I generally wash his clothes separately. I have had loads with ink all over them. This doesn't get it all out, but a lot of it.
