Ball Point Ink
Dear Aunt Daisy, Could you tell me through The Listener how to remove ball point pen ink stains from woollen and cotton materials? "NS." Gore. Sponge or dip the stains in pure methylated ‘spirits (from chemist), adding a few drops of household ammonia if material is white. Rinse well in lukewarm water. The meths. alone will generally suffice. If any mark should still remain, you may dip the material in a weak solution of oxalic acid (a level dessertspoon to a breakfast cup of warm water), for a few seconds, afterwards rinsing thoroughly in warm water containing a little ammonia and then in fresh water. Nearly always, however, the first treatment with pure methylated spirits will be found sufficient, rinsing afterwards.
