What is how to remove pen ink from clothes?

Here's how to tackle that pesky pen ink stain on your clothes:

• Act Fast: The quicker you address the stain, the better your chances of removing it completely. Don't let it set!

• Blot, Don't Rub: Rubbing will only spread the ink and push it deeper into the fabric. Use a clean cloth or paper towel to gently blot the stain from the outside in.

• Test First: Before applying any cleaning solution, test it on an inconspicuous area of the garment to ensure it doesn't damage or discolor the fabric.

• Common Household Remedies:

  • Rubbing Alcohol: This is a popular and effective method. Place the stained area on a clean cloth and dab with rubbing alcohol. Change the cloth as the ink transfers.
  • Hairspray: Some hairsprays (especially those with a high alcohol content) can work similarly to rubbing alcohol. Spray on the stain, let it sit for a minute, and then blot.
  • Milk: Soak the stained area in milk overnight. Then, launder as usual.
  • Vinegar and Baking Soda Paste: Make a paste and apply to the stain. Let it sit, then rinse and launder.
  • Hand Sanitizer: Similar to rubbing alcohol, hand sanitizer's alcohol content can help lift the stain.

• Laundry Detergent: After pre-treating, launder the garment as usual using a good-quality laundry detergent.

• Repeat if Necessary: Ink stains can be stubborn. You may need to repeat the cleaning process several times to completely remove the stain.

• Avoid the Dryer: Do not put the garment in the dryer until you are certain the stain is completely gone. The heat from the dryer can set the stain permanently.

• Difficult Stains or Delicate Fabrics: For very stubborn stains or delicate fabrics, consider taking the garment to a professional dry cleaner.
