Can anyone please tell me how to remove Ball Point Pen from my casual jacket, I think they call the fabric micro fibre.

I was merrily going around the supermarket ticking off each item when I noticed to my horror that I had ticked myself twice.

The jacket is almost new and has never been washed or dry cleaned.

May Blossom, I found a range of suggestions. Do hope this link helps you remove the stain.

Does the jacket have an attached Care label ?
...... sometimes hidden perhaps in a pocket.

Just the usual symbols, nothing about ball pen Gwen.

One of the tips I got was to dab on nailvarnish remover, I have done this, the ballpoint ink has gone, just hope there are no holes in the morning.
