What would get red ink, out of a white top???
Answers:
Water Based Ink Stains
Lay the stained area on top of a clean dry white towel. Apply water to the ink stain and blot with another clean white cloth, removing the stain as you blot.
Apply your normal liquid laundry detergent onto the ink stain and allow the garment to sit for 3-5 minutes.
Wash in the warmest water that the fabric can tolerate.
Before drying, double check to make sure the ink stain was removed, if not, repeat the previous steps until it is.
Permanent Ink Stains
It’s important to remember that permanent inks and markers represent some of the most difficult stains to remove.
If a permanent ink stain happens on a fabric or pattern that cannot be bleached, it will be difficult to impossible to remove. You can try and you might get lucky, but don’t hold you’re breath for too long.
The first solution to try is rubbing alcohol. Place the clothing on top of a clean white towel. Be sure to test in a hidden spot before applying rubbing alcohol to the permanent ink stain. Blot rubbing alcohol onto the stain. The towel underneath will become wet and discolored from the ink. Be sure to move the garment to a clean dry section fo the towel as this happens. Continue until no more ink stain can be removed. Make sure you rinse the stained area completely free of the rubbing alcohol.
Next try fingernail polish remover. Blot in the same way as you did with the rubbing alcohol, moving the stained area to a clean dry section of a towel as the ink stain is removed. Rinse thoroughly.
As a last resort, you can try acetone, although this doesn’t do well with a lot of fabric types and cannot be used on acetate and rayon fabrics. Test first in a hidden spot. Apply the acetone in the same way as the rubbing alcohol and fingernail polish remover. Remember to rinse thoroughly.
Next, try rubbing baking soda mixed with water into the ink stain. Rinse thoroughly.
Apply a stain stick, gel, or spray to the ink stain and wash according to the fabric directions.
If the ink stain still remains after washing, try repeating the baking soda step again before rewashing and drying.

you could bleach it or use a spotter like shout. your best bet is to go to the dry cleaner though. they have special chemicals.

Red ink is difficult. In the old days, you would make a paste of regular salt & some water until it is like the consistency of wet sand & then you would put that over the stain & let it sit for a few hours & then wash it in warm water which has some baking soda in it & hopefully that would take some of it off. I understand that the stain sticks might give you some hope although it would vastly depend on just what your shirt is made of.
Simple Green the cleaner gets about any stain out I try it on. Blood, Red kool aid.etc.
It depends on the material. If it's a "delicate" item, take it to a professional cleaner. If it's cotton (or other "everyday" material) douse the spot with Shout/OxyClean/your favorite spot-lifter. Then, put good-quality liquid detergent on the spot and let it soak for 10 minutes or so. (Do not rinse the spot-lifter before doing this.) Wash the item in the warmest water you can without shrinking it. Before you put ir int he dryer or allow it to dry, check the spot. If there is still a bit of stain remaining, dab it woth a bleach-soaked Q-Tip or cotton ball. Rinse, and put it through another round in the washing machine. That ought to do the trick!

Get a Bleach stick from this site for $3.00. It isn't real bleach- it's color safe so it willwork on any stain and it is better than those bleach pens or anything else I have used. I have gotten red wine out of yellow sheets before and they were just like new with no color fade. It will get that red ink out no problem!
Mean Green Mold and mildew destroyer, gets anything out of white!!
bleach
Sorry about your luck! Toss it!
I've never had red ink get on my clothing but I have had blue and black and I used hairspray. Just spray some on, let it sit for a few seconds and then take a damp cloth and dab at it. It's always worked for me.
One of them pen things! You know, the ones that are shaped like a pen, they're portable. they work like a dream! I forgot what they're called, sorry.

Milk is good for this, it is non-biological and natural so you shouldn't be allergic to it knowing it already. It won't spoil the top either, just dab it on the affected area, leave it for a few minutes then wash as normal with the milk still on it.
