on 6/26/2009 I used the alcohol and rubbed it with a toothbrush & some Mean Green Cleaner , that stuff is awesome . Used it on the bedspread. Got the stain almost out.. working on it. Used it on the pillowcase and going to let it soak.. worked better than hairspray...LOL

on 2/20/2009 ok..I had a Permanent marker stain on the sleeve of my work issued, polyester, shirt. It happened at work and I was unable to get to the stain for a couple of days. I tried hairspray, didn't work. I tried nail polish remover, didn't work. Tried all the store brand stain removers, didn't work. Now, 4mos later I decided that the shirt is ruined anyway, so, I tried "Goof Off, The Ultimate Remover". Stain gone in 30 seconds, with just a little rubbing with a Qtip! Shirt, back to normal. No stains at all.

on 3/13/2008 I pulled a shirt out of a suitcase to find that I had left a pen in the pocket. A huge stain appeared where the pen had broken onto the shirt. After googling this site, I decided to use some logic and try my own method. Forget the blotting technique, I ran warm water on the stain first, directly under a faucet. Much of the ink rinsed out. Then I heated a small amount of rubbing alcohol in a microwave to just tepid, and used a toothbrush and started gently scrubbing the area. Then I punctured one of those dishwasher pillows that you place in the tray of your dishwasher, applied the whole thing to the area of the shirt, let it sit for a minute, and just for good measure, added the rest of the heated alcohol to the mix, and started scrubbing. Then I rinsed the whole mess under the faucet with warm water and VOILA, I couldn't even find where the stain had been!!!!!

on 3/10/2008 I was able to get dried on ink out of my husbands clothes after pouring on Denatured Alcohol directly on to all of the ink stains. Then I washed them in hot water with Biz. It is perfectly safe to used on colored clothes. I was also able to get the dryer clean again by using nail polish remover, then soft scrub to clean out the polish remover. I wish the video and instructions told me that it was safe to use on colored clothes. I wasted time using other things first that did not work at all. Thank you for your very helpful video and instructions. :)
