Ink in chef jacket [General]

2013 Nov 11
Does anyone know of a dry cleaners having the expertise to remove ink from a chef's jacket? A pen was left in the sleeve when it was laundered and I would like to salvage it if I can. Thanks!

Ehhhh...I've never managed to get ink out of chef whites, no matter how many dry cleaners or repeated washings. Maybe call a hospitality linen service to see what they recommend? I'm sure they deal with that pretty frequently.

Saturate the spot with hairspray, the cheap alcohol based kind. Let it sit until you can see the ink start to lift. Run under cold water and then repeat.

You can also just skip the hairspray and use rubbing alcohol on its own.

Brake cleaner, for cars, has some good (volitile) solvents. And no extra sh!t like hair spray.
