I see that you already got it out, but another solution to keep in mind: POWDERED dishwasher detergent works like a charm, as well. Don't use the liquid--I bleached the heck out of a shirt one time that way. Anyway, mix the powder with some water to make a kind of paste. I lifts that ink right out. Then launder as usual. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-oh-no-any-ideas-for-getting-ink-out-of-a-shirt#post-155950 Thu, 13 May 2010 01:28:06 +0000 Beth 155950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I used rubbing alcohol (didn't have any hairspray handy) and it worked like a charm!

And have patience while you do that, because it might take a long time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-oh-no-any-ideas-for-getting-ink-out-of-a-shirt#post-155323 Tue, 11 May 2010 21:36:13 +0000 Beth 155323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whew!
