How To Remove Ink From Clothing

At long last, I've found an easy and cheap way to remove all traces of ink from clothing! This came about because I'm forever putting pens into my lab coat pocket where they either write on the inside of my pocket or pop open and leak all over the place. I've known from my floor nursing days that alcohol will remove ink, but the really big stains that tend to spread need a little more attention.

Today I brought home two of my lab coats to spot clean (we have a service at the office, but sometimes they just need TLC). I poured alcohol over the inky areas, but some of the areas spread and I was afraid to put them straight into the washer. So I poured a little of my homemade detergent on the area and rubbed, and ALL TRACES of the ink were gone!

Now, how to market this.....
