Yes sorry for my boring post!!!
But wondered if there anyway i can remove a stain from an ink cartridge from a shirt? I have washed it twice and also used vanish directly on the stain, wondered if there were 'old wives tales' that i could try.
Thanks:help:

hmmm i havent got anything else to offer, ive had ink on clothes before and vanish worked fine, sorry :(
There used to be a range of products called 'Stain Devils' that were geared around removing particular stains. I don't know whether they still exist or not.

These (http://www.universalsewing.com/featured/l-13048.htm) usually work after all else fails!

if it was from a toner cartridge you should have used cold water as printers/copiers use heat to stick the toner to the page so you've probably just guaranteed its going to stay put
Ok think it may need binning haha.
Have you tried one of the oxygen based stain removers on it? Something like Oxi Clean, or Vanish Oxy Action?
These work really well on organic stains that aren't oil based- removing most things from blackcurrant juice and curry to iodine.
No i shall have a try thanks Medusa, it has been on a while though maybe left it a bit too long but will see.
I've used them on really old blackcurrant juice stains on a white blouse- and Oxi Clean worked. It's worth a go.

You could try soaking the ink stain in hot milk, or dabbing it with salt and lemon juice or methylated spirits might remove it.
Those stain devil things are still around, they're in a small yellow bottle and theres different ones for different stains, i'm sure one of them includes ink
