Okay, since someone else asked a how-to question that has nothing to do with this board...

I was carrying a stack of books in my arms, tucked against my stomach, and there was a pen in one of the books, and it didn't have a cap on it - let's just say that there is a heavy blue ball-point ink line on one of my most useful white (cotton) turtleneck shirts. Since I'm plus-sized, and most Korean women are *extremely* petite, it's very hard for me to get clothes here that fit, so I *need* to get the mark out. (Read - I have an extremely limited wardrobe here, so I have to make the most use out of what I have. And it's *expensive* to have my mom always sending me clothes from Canada!)

What should I do???

Something that has worked for me every time is
"Reinigungsbenzin", I couldn`t find a translation so maybe somebody else here can translate this or even has a better advice??

Anyway if nobody else is going to answer go into a dry-cleaner and ask. At least they should know what to do.

Hope this could help a little

Taking out ink:

Try hair spray to loosen the stain, then laundry spot or spot treater to remove it.

If that doesn't work, try acetone (nail polish remover) BUT it may damage the cloth, so use cautiously.

Good luck!

And remember...blot, don't rub!

Sorry. I just had to get that in...

Thanks, Anne! Yes, that's very important.
