    I don't think it'll come off. Once I put a piece if paper that tippex on it in the washing machine, all the rest of the writing was washed off the paper.... but not the tippex!

    Try using white fabric paint instead of tipp ex it's pretty easy to find in most art shops.

    Well I tested it on a few tippex stains I have on my old shirt......

    The beauty of this is you can add all home ingredients so know need to pop down to your local store.

    The salution i.e ingtredients to the wash
    6cups of bleach (softhen the bleach preferably toilet bleach.
    cap of Fabric softner to nuitralise the harsh detergents and keep your shirt smelling nice. (get the most expensive you can find)
    2 cups of Turpintine, (aprox half a bottle) this active ingredient should dissovle the dried in tippex
    Two table spoons of vinegar. this will make the mixture more acidic and burn off the residue!
    WARNING: (Dentists have made an awareness do not use this salution to whiten teeth)
    Side note:Choice you can add salt to it, but my in my experince it never made any difference.

    Make sure you wash on 60 Centigrate, full wash whatever is the standard wash for your washing machine, I have washing blaster 2000:D :D works everytime.

    Meanwhile
    sit back relax and have a nice cup tea. make a few.
    When It's done the Tippex should be dissapeard. Vanished.

    The result will be unique.;)


    In future reference I suggest you write on your forehead( preferably with tippex) "must not put tippex on T-shirt.

    I couldn't help it..
