How to Remove ballpoint ink Stains

The pen is mightier than the sword, but you don’t have to let tough ink stains defeat your favorite shirt.

  • On the go

    It’s hard to remove ink stains on the go, but you can make it easier to deal with later. Try rubbing in a little hand sanitizer, working from outside in to help prevent stain from spreading. Blot to lift up the ink, repeating as needed. Then rub with regular bar soap and rinse in cold water.

  • At home

    Pretreat with a good solvent like Goo Gone, then wash on the hottest recommended water setting along with your favorite detergent. Use Clorox® Regular-Bleach for whites, Clorox 2® product for colors or Clorox® Bleach Pen® Gel for striped clothing. Repeat as needed, and check for success before drying.
