We’ve all been there. You throw that extra gym shirt in a bag filled with miscellaneous items, like lipglosses, gum, and, of course, a pen that you've somehow forgotten about. You remove it from your bag only to discover a huge blue or black stain. Or perhaps you are writing out a to-do list or filling out your planner and all of a sudden you realize there’s ink all over your shirt and pants. 

While these situations are frustrating, you may not need to throw out that shirt after all. Once you've got your laundry symbols and basics down, you have a better chance of saving your clothes. While removing an ink stain doesn’t work 100% of the time, it is certainly worth trying to bring that garment back to life. Grab those laundry room essentials and buckle up — how to remove ink stains from clothes, according to an expert.
