Removing ink - especially from quilting thread
Has anyone tried this product? It's called Eliminink. I am wondering if it works as well as I hope it does:

I've never seen it, but I believe, based on the msds sheets I found for both products, that it's similar to Goof Off. I found a few comments and reviews that recommended mixing in a bit of Dawn, then using a toothbrush (and patience) to scrub.

Thanks for that info, Peggi. I didn't really look for reviews elsewhere. I was wondering if it had that same smell and sort of oily texture as goof off or goo gone. I already have both of those and was looking for something "cleaner"

I used to get ink out DH"s shirts by making a past of dishwasher detergent (or using the gel stuff). I would smooth the stuff over the ink spot, let it sit, scrub a bit and rinse it out. It worked great and did not discolor the shirt.

Thanks QuiltnLady1
What kind of dishwasher detergent did you use? I tried Cascade, and it bleached out the color. (This happened on an old sweatshirt, so it didn't matter - I just added more detergent here and there, and now the sweatshirt has spots all over).
I used to use hair spray...that worked pretty well too, but aerosol is a no no now, and I haven't bought hair spray in years.

The Eliminink article said, "This product is not intended for consumer or home use. It is to be used only in a commercial environment. Please read all instructions and requirements indicated on the product prior to using." Nuff said.
