search wardrobe for suitable alternative or nip down your 24 hours supermarket......? Washing up liquid or swarfega may be goood?

I would second hairspray. Just spray it on the biro and wash as normal.

I find washing up liquid works well on most stains, biro included. Put a bit on the biro, rub it in and then wash - if you have an extra rinse option then put that on too to get rid of the bubbles!

Stain Devils biro remover - but follow the instructions carefully.
