A Messed Up Shirt

Have you ever seen the 1997 psychological thriller ´The Game´ starring Michael Douglas and Sean Penn? If you have, you´ll remember there is a scene where Nicholas van Orton (Douglas) is at the airport unaware that his tailored shirt is soaking in blue pen ink! Well, for this of you who don´t have a chauffeur waiting at your terminal with brand new replacement shirts to choose from, here´s how we recommend you solve the ink dilemma and a few others.
Ink: Soak the fabric in mik for several hours and rinse in cold water.
Ballpoint pen: Place the garment on a clean a white cloth. Dab the stain with other white cloth soaked in 90% alcohol or white vinegar.
Sauces: Use hot water or trichloroethylene to help dissolve the grease and then wash normally.
