Carbona STAIN DEVILS #3 INK/CRAY 1.7oz

This is the ONLY product that will remove ink, from clothing. I used to buy it from Publix. But they no longer carry it. It’s not something that is used all of the time. I forgot the name of it and ordered something else. Did not work. I remembered the brand, bought it and the ink stain is gone!!

Very impressed with this stuff. I somehow slept with a pen in bed and got ink marks all over a white duvet. Tried every stain remover I could find before ordering this stuff. I used it undiluted. It took a couple of rounds but it got 95% of the ink marks off. The best part is - it doesn't smell toxic or overpowering. TIP: Use a cotton bud to apply. I dabbed some solution on the bud and then patted/rubbed into the stain. This meant I wasn't wasting any of the solution (the bottle is very small).

Stuff works great - been using it for years on white lab coats and dress shirts. Am constantly getting ink on them. Important: use BEFORE washing - much easier. If the ink doesn't come out immediately, which is often the case if you washed before noticing the stain, let the stained part(s) sit in a small dish or bowl of the stuff. Could be for as long as a week or two if you washed item first and the ink stain has set. Periodically blot and soak again till stain is gone. You can use dish detergent or something like Zout on the stain that is becoming liquified to help blot it out before washing or between long soaks, but do not add any water till the stain has disappeared. Blot, blot, blot till gone, then wash. I have cured things that were incredibly stained, like where the pen leaked and the shirt definitely seemed like garbage with a solid black stain as big as my palm. But warning: the bottle is tiny and not cheap. If the stain is bad you could end up using a whole bottle with the soaking over and over. Still better and less expensive than replacing a beloved garment.

Didn’t work. A pen was in my daughter’s pen when it went into the dryer. Ink on clothes. Ink on dryer. None of it came off. Not even a little.

This product did not work at all - stains are still there. I followed the instructions and nothing happened. To me it's not worth 1 star but I had to leave something.
