However, if you wanted to give it a go, try putting the salt on half a lemon and scrubbing with that.<br /><br />Do y'all have CLR up there? If so, that might work, too. It's not natural, but if it works...<br /><br />Love the embroidery idea! Probably wouldn't fly with my boys, though. Can't you just see them walking around with a cute butterfly on their shirt. Better yet, an entire swarm of butterflies. :DMindy Obenhaushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15049730175697756032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-45053715363461583892016-08-23T15:41:13.822-04:002016-08-23T15:41:13.822-04:00I had forgotten all about rubbing alcohol and ink,...I had forgotten all about rubbing alcohol and ink, Mary Cate. One of my children once took a Sharpie to the carpet and a couple of window sills. It may have taken an entire bottle of rubbing alcohol, but I got it all out, meaning said child lived to see another day. :P<br /><br />Thanks for the reminder.Mindy Obenhaushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15049730175697756032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-4615827172807208492016-08-23T12:50:57.652-04:002016-08-23T12:50:57.652-04:00Well this is a handy dandy post.

No amount of scrubbing with anything and everything can make it go away. I'm going to try this and see what happens.<br /><br />As to close -- true confession: if a stain didn't come out in the first wash and the item was a favourite of my daughter's I just embroidered a critter or flower or some such thing over the stain to hide it. A little quirky fashion wise I suppose, but my girlie had the panache to carry it off.

They had a beautiful linen dress on sale for $20 because it had ink stains on it. I always have those little alcohol in my purse so I tried on in the corner of the dress (in the dressing room). Ink vanished. I bought the dress, brought it home, and used alcohol to get the rest out.<br /><br />Still have the dress and I belive it predated my daughter who is about to turn 29. (Sadly, I'm not saying it still fits. I took it out for RWA last year and didn't quite make it. But some day.

I'm just grateful to the person who posted this "recipe" on the Internet. Twenty years ago, the shirt would have been a tosser. Of course, the fact that I had both salt and lemon juice on hand made it too easy not to try. Then it was just a matter of persistence. For brownie points, I will be persistent. Well, as long as it doesn't involve running or any other lengthy form of cardio. :PMindy Obenhaushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15049730175697756032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-84474784131076606282016-08-23T09:15:02.108-04:002016-08-23T09:15:02.108-04:00PS The mining town looks really interesting and f...PS The mining town looks really interesting and fun.

But then, you did mention the part about the shirt being a favorite of your son's and brownie points for getting it clean.

YOWZA!!!! <br /><br />And I've done similar things... if the shirt or dress is about to become a rag for washing cars, we might as well experiment! <br /><br />Good for you! <br /><br />I love helpful hints like this.
