Ballpoint Ink from clothing

Submitted by Gary

It is possible to remove the ink by rubbing it with fingernail polish remover (acetone). Saturate the area with the acetone and use dry cloth to absorb excess fluid.

Great Job! Comments By: Janice from Ventura I had several lines of ballpoint pen on my favorite jeans. I did just what he said, saturate with polish remover and rubbed on it with a washcloth and it all came out!   Ballpoint on clothes Comments By: Lorette van der Linde I have 2 blue ballpoint marks on a white satin blouse, how do I get it out for not making a yellow mark I did try Varnish.   remove biro ink of clothing Comments By: josie great did exactly as you said on a bridesmaid dress, perfect.thanks
