LAUNDRY LIKE THE OLD DAYS

Do Laudry like the old days-
I had an outfit that had ink staines on it from a day at work where a pen erupted ink all over my hands and i had my hands of my shorts and shirt (and face), before one of my friends pointed it out to me that i had black ink on my shirt, shorts, and face. I immediately after work decided it would be a great idea to use this as an oppurtunity to do laundry like they used to do it in the old days and use it for my project! I went home and laid my out fit down on my bed and began to dab at the ink using a towel to try to get as much as I could out before it dried up.I then placed my shirt and shorts in a bucket full of cold water and pickle juice. (the pickle juice helps loosen up the stain). I rubbed the stain together on the shirt and the shorts for about 5 minutes keeping the clothes submerged until I could no longer see any more ink. I drained the water out of the bucket then transferred my outfit to a new bucket full of only cold water. I let it sit for about 2 hours. I then brought my outfit into my back yard and hung them from a wooden stud that goes across the top of the ceiling on  my back porch. I let them sit out there for about 10 hours and they were perfectly clean and smelled like pickles, but the ink was removed!
