Ink stains can be caused by any number of things, such as marker pens, inkjet printers, and fountain pens. Fortunately, removing them doesn’t have to be difficult. Here’s a quick guide to getting ink stains out of fabric using just a few household items.
Step 1: Apply Alcohol
First, grab a bottle of rubbing alcohol and apply it directly to stained area. You’ll want to be sure to thoroughly saturate the stain, but don’t over do it. You don’t want to saturate the fabric too much or it could cause damage.
Step 2: Blot & Scrub
Using a clean cloth, gently blot the stained area. Don’t rub it, as this could cause the stain to spread even further. Once you’ve blotted it, you’ll want to use a soft-bristled brush to gently scrub away the stain. This will help to break up the ink and make it easier to remove.
Step 3: Rinse & Repeat
Once you’ve blotted and scrubbed the stain, rinse the area with cool water. Gently blot the area again to remove any leftover residue. You may need to repeat the process several times until the stain is completely removed.
Additional Tips & Tricks
- If you’re dealing with an older stain, you may need to use a liquid detergent or dish soap to help break it down.
- Be sure to pretest the fabric in an inconspicuous area before treating the stain to ensure that the color won’t run.
- For delicate fabrics such as silk or wool, take it to a professional dry cleaner instead of trying to remove it yourself.
By following these steps, you should be able to easily remove ink stains from bottom of your clothing. With a little patience and the right technique, you’ll be able to get your clothes looking like new again!
