I use 3 step process: 1) rub in Spray n Wash 2) Rub in All Detergent 3) Spray Folex Carpet Cleaner then wash warm if all same colors. Takes out 95% of all my spots. Never stained. Please check out my shirts. I sell quite a few shirts because I’m able to offer most of my inventory blemish free & money back guarantee. Hope we can do business or just trade tips. http://www.stores.eBay.com/rival-madness

Methylated spirits will wipe ink right off, if you’ve accidentally drawn on yourself. If, like my boyfriend, you accidentally put a pen in the wash with your favourite katatonia shirt, you can soak in meths with no fading or messing up the print, but it takes a few goes (the meths is still coming out blue…2 days later)

Hi Paul,

You can score a lot of them in grocery stores. Certain chemicals above are tougher to find – their titles above are clickable to listings on eBay.

I urge caution with OxyClean and colors. Soak it too long, or with too high a concentration and you’re likely to fade the garment or worse, have color bleed. I learned this the hard way by ruining the most awesome vintage Cross Colours baseball jersey.

Thanks for the tips. Now my mom will only be able to complain that my ‘73 Grand Funk tee is 3 sizes too small, as the nasty “original” vomit stains will be a thing of the past…….

Nope…. bleach has no effect on screen printing ink – you just have to worry about the fabric – don’t leaving it on too long without rinsing it. Diluting bleach in the wash cycle is safe for a white t-shirt.
