any miracles for getting ink stains out of a sweater?

[mordecai]

I got two small ink stains on the elbow of a sweater that is 95%cotton and 5% cashmere. anyone know a way to remove these, or am i just stuck with them? thanks.

the safest choice (and most obvious) is to take it to/ask your dry cleaner

My mother in law has something similar to Amway which has a stain remover that is truly amazing (and smells pretty bad.) The name is S8 or something lik thaat.

he could also get the sleeves taken in so it fits more like BoO...just remove the stained portion on a serious note...the OTC stuff I have tried tends to eat away and weaken the fabric

My girlfriend accidently got ballpoint ink all over the sleeve of one of my button-downs. . .

--------> Google

Nail Polish remover took it almost totally out. Then I put some oxyclean on it and washed it. Good as new.

Hairspray, but make sure it won't discolor the sweater first.

Google it. I had to remove a stain from something once, simple dawn liquid detergent soaked onto the stain for a few hours work (too a few attempts). There's stronger stuff like WD40 that works too. For example: http://www.cashmereconnoisseur.blogspot.com/ If your sweater disintegrates as a result, it's not my fault.. you've been warned... use your head.

If you are going to use WD-40 (which works very well), I recommend immediately following it up with Dawn to get all the WD-40 out.
