    Don't know about the ink, but glad to see the tip about the hairspray. Would that work with non-aerosol? Just a comment re the dry cleaners. I've been told never to dry clean your quilts because of the chemicals they use. Ellen

    3M makes a hand cleaming product that is good for removing things that makes stains. There is also a product called GOOP. It's a hand cleaner also.Most men who are auto mechanics keep these kinds of things to remove grease from their hands. I've even used them on oil based paint and gotten it out of my white uniforms.At work, I used hair spray because I stuck a pen in my uniform pocket and had ink everywhere. It has to be the areosol kind.Just be careful if the colors might fad. Acetone is another good product.Dollar General Stores usually carry the 3-M product.
