Ink stains do not always disappear after washing, so special cleaning techniques are required. Below are a few effective methods:

Soak a sponge or cloth in rubbing alcohol and dab the stain. Rinse with water and let dry. Repeat if necessary.
Spray a generous amount of hairspray on the stain and blot with a dry sponge. Repeat until the stain is gone.
