This may not be the best place for this but I figured since there's a lot of ladies on here and we generally all like clothes, that I may have some luck finding advice on getting a stain out.

It looks like blue pen but I honestly am not sure and have no idea how it got on the shorts. I've already soaked it in an oxy clean mixture for an hour as per the instructions on the container. And before that I tried a spray and wash stain remover spray. Then washed them. No results so far.

Have you dried them yet?

Once you dry them the stain will really set in the fabric and its just a nightmare to remove.

No I haven't dried them yet, I even soaked them overnight in Oxy clean again and no luck again. I don't know if the stain was there the last time I washed and dried them though so maybe it is too late. I'll try the hairspray and see what happens. Thanks :)

If all else fails, you can always get some die and I guess do the whole item to blend it in :) trying to make light of a cruddy situation x

Spray hairspray and let it set. Use a soft brush to get it out and then wash it. I tried it on a canvas purse after about a year or so and the stains came right out.

Is there any specific type or brand of hairspray? Or just any kind I can find? I don't really use hairspray myself so I'll probably just pick up a travel size can lol.
