Removing Ink Stains from Clothes

Ink stains can be tricky, but here's a breakdown of approaches:

1. Act Fast: The quicker you address the stain, the easier it will be to remove. Don't let it dry!

2. Blot, Don't Rub: Rubbing will spread the ink and push it deeper into the fibers. Gently blot the stain with a clean cloth or paper towel. This helps to lift excess ink off of the fabric.

3. Identify the Ink: Different inks respond differently to cleaning methods. Try to determine what type of ink caused the stain (ballpoint, gel, permanent marker, etc.).

4. Common Stain Removal Techniques:

   • Rubbing Alcohol: This is a common first step. Place the stained area face down on a clean cloth or paper towel. Dab the back of the stain with rubbing alcohol, working from the outside in. Replace the cloth underneath as it absorbs the ink.
   • Hairspray: Some older hairsprays contain alcohol, which can help dissolve ink. Spray the stain and blot it with a clean cloth. (Test in an inconspicuous area first.)
   • Milk: Soak the stained garment in milk overnight. This can sometimes loosen the ink.
   • Glycerin: Apply glycerin to the stain, let it sit for a few minutes, and then blot with a clean cloth.
   • Dish Soap and White Vinegar: Mix a solution of dish soap and white vinegar with water. Apply to the stain, blot and rinse.

5. Wash the Garment: After treating the stain, launder the garment as usual, but avoid putting it in the dryer until you're sure the stain is gone. Heat can set the stain.

6. Persistent Stains: If the stain persists after one attempt, repeat the stain removal process. You may need to try multiple methods.

7. Professional Cleaning: For delicate fabrics or stubborn stains, consider taking the garment to a professional dry cleaner.
