Husband's pen exploded on the airplane the other day and it dripped a bit on his tan dress slacks. There are 2 little spots ( .5 cm wide) and I want to try to get the stains out.
Anything that worked for you?

Hair spray has worked for me.Just spray it on and blot up excess until gone.Spray more if needed and blot again.

Any kind of hair spray? Does Aerosol work?

I don't think it will matter what kind. Hairspray always does the trick for me to.

Ditto on the hairspray. I've used pump and aerosolized, doesn't matter. It may not be completely gone but in most cases it will be a ton less noticeable.

I have a little bottle of stuff that takes ink out-it is made specifically for that-It is called Carbona Stain Devils. You can find it near the laundry det. and stain removers. Mine is a little yellow bottle. My DD colored all over the arm of our couch that was covered in a tan slipcover and the pen stain came right out after I pretreated it with the stain devil stuff and then threw it in the wash.
