    I wouldn't bother.. there will be just as many marks and stains within a week anyway!

    I've sprayed shout on it & left it over night.
  • I would recomend taking it to a dry cleaners, they know how to get shift of it. The more you try to erase it the harder it will be for the dry cleaner. There used to be a product called stain devils and they had one for Ink/Biro

    I've completely removed biro from my daughter's t-shirt by soaking it in milk. Sounds weird but worked perfectly. Hope that helps!

    How long did you soak it in milk for?

    This worked a treat! I must admit I was a bit skeptical because the stain was really bad & it's a very light coat. However thought I'd give it a go as I'd got nothing to lose...... Ink stain remover, so thanks.:money::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer::money:
  • A favourite white Top got a Biro mark on it ,i tried washing it in Vanish it did not move, next tried soaking it in milk, faded a little but not much, after reading a post i sprayed it with my hair spray and it all disappeared ,so now i have my Top new again.

    Will milk, hairspray or alcohol work on silk?

    I have a very expensive real silk sheet that I have managed to mark with black biro,
