It took an ink stain out of a cream sweatshirt without changing the color. Patience does seem to be key with these things.<br /> Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laundry-mishap-any-ideas#post-2228811 Sat, 02 Oct 2021 13:04:30 +0000 Janet 2228811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What kkards said.
