Anybody Know

My 2 year old GS has used a biro on the back of Mr Sam's polo shirt. Anybody know how to remove it ?

Undo the buttons and pull it over his head and arms....

Lift it over his head! (Sorry, I'll leave now)

Found this:

If water-based stains are easy to remove and permanent ink stains are nearly impossible, ballpoint stains fall right in the middle. Just like in the examples above, start by laying your stained fabric on top of a clean dry cloth. Dab rubbing alcohol onto the ink stain. Begin blotting with a clean cloth. Continue until no ink stain remains. Rinse the clothing thoroughly. Now apply normal liquid laundry detergent onto the area and let it sit for between 3-5 minutes. Wash in the hottest water that is safe for the fabric.

If rubbing alcohol doesn't work, try nail polish remover, following the same instructions above. Be sure to rinse the fabric completely between using rubbing alcohol and nail polish remover. These items shouldn't be mixed.

Before drying, make sure the stain is completely gone. If it is not, repeat the previous steps until the stain is removed, or you decided to call it quits.

I don't know, Sam....but I've used it lots in school.....white shirts and kids....and I removed a large strip of ink my son got onto a pale beige carpet...

I just spray and dab with kitchen towel....dab not rub.....and then wash. No harm in giving it a go....

I used Vanish successfully once.....but don't think it was ink......most likely red wine.......x
