Get Pen Ink Out of Clothes

Pen ink on clothing is just about as annoying as gum on shoes- maybe more. And if it is a favorite shirt, you really do not want to have to throw it away, but what other option do you have? Good news: As hopeless as those stains may seem, you do not have to throw your clothes away.

First, give this a go: try spraying WD-40 on the stain, giving it a few minutes, and then rinsing it off. You just might save your favorite shirt, after all. Note that it may work better on blue ink than black.
