Laundry question.........

[perdidobay]

How do you get red ink out of khaki pants?

HELP!

Try hairspray! It works for black and blue ink - why not red!!!

I use Zout stain remover and swear by it. Most grocery, Wal-Mart and Target stores carry it. It'll take out stains that have gone through the dryer. Just let in work its magic for a few hours before you wash the pants.

Thanks ya'll
I'll try hairspray, and if that doesn't work, I'll run to the store for Zout........ sounds like I should buy some anyway!

Carbona has individual bottles of stuff that works for pretty much everything! (one is for rust, ink, tar, blood, tomatoe stains, koolaid, etc)

Also try spot shot in the blue can with the orange lid.

be careful with the Zout...it can 'bleach' colors. Hairspray works really well. Put a paper towel behind te stain and keep spraying and bltting the stain. Then try a bit of laundry soap to cmpletely remove it. Keep alternating the hairspray with the laundry soap until completely gone before laundering.

Sometimes for really bad stains I use "Woolite Oxy-Deep Oxygen Activated Stain Remover". It is actually a carpet cleaner, but works on laundry too. So far it has worked on everything I've tried, but I haven't tried ink. Smells pretty good too, not that that is important in this case!
