I think I'd try rubbing alcohol first. I've had great success with it in the past. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-white-jeans-got-inked#post-985920 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 12:21:29 +0000 Hil 985920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I managed to substantially lighten an ink stain from a permanent marker by using a combination of&nbsp;methylated spirits and washing and bleach and repeating the process a few times.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-white-jeans-got-inked#post-985914 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 12:02:53 +0000 Anonymous 985914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>my latest trick is hand sanitizer. I get lots of ink stains from pens at work. I put a blob of it over the stain, let it soak for a few sec and gently rub. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-white-jeans-got-inked#post-985897 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 11:36:48 +0000 Lantana 985897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Petrol? It's a great solvent, so worth a try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-white-jeans-got-inked#post-985891 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 11:30:56 +0000 Suz 985891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First off, big hugs!!!&nbsp;</p> <p>Next, what's the fabric composition of the jeans? Check that.&nbsp;</p> <p>I got ink on some sheets once (well, more than once, actually...insert blushing fact here). But this time it was a new duvet cover or something and a real mess. It wasn't white so bleach was not an option.&nbsp;So I went online.&nbsp;</p> <p>I tried a variety of things and each helped to a degree. First, nail polish remover. Then hairspray. Then soaking in regular stain remover stuff, followed by washing. I think I did another round of this.&nbsp;</p> <p>Eventually, the stain came out!!&nbsp;</p> <p>So I think it is possible to succeed, depending on the type of ink used and the fabric of the jeans.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-white-jeans-got-inked#post-985890 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 11:30:46 +0000 missvee 985890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you tried a spray and wash solution like Clorox? Otherwise what about a diluted bleach solution, applied with a Q tip. Dab it on, wait a bit then rinse and repeat.<br /> Hope you enjoyed the concert </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-white-jeans-got-inked#post-985883 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 11:25:50 +0000 kkards 985883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i used&nbsp;to use hair spray, but its been a while since i have tried this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-white-jeans-got-inked#post-985860 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 09:42:22 +0000 goldenpig 985860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe an alcohol pad will soak up some of the ink? What about soaking in Oxi Clean or bleach? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-white-jeans-got-inked#post-985849 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 08:40:52 +0000 Ornella 985849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Seconding the sun, but I tried it only on&nbsp;organic stains, e.g. DS comes home from the kindergarden&nbsp;with tomato sauce stains :-)</p> <p>Also, I had espresso down my white jeans on their maiden voyage and washed them&nbsp;on 90C programme (all extra options set:&nbsp;prewash and&nbsp;wash plus) and they have come out after 2h30 looking pristine. They are 100% cotton btw.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-white-jeans-got-inked#post-985837 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 07:37:44 +0000 clairelouise2 985837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sunshine.

Any suggestions on how to get it out? </p>
