Step 1: Identify the Type of Fabric

Before you start cleaning, you need to know what type of fabric your boxers are made of. Different fabrics require different cleaning methods. In general, however, most boxers are made of some type of cotton which is fairly easy to clean.

Step 2: Pre-Treat the Stain with Soap and Water

Start by pre-treating the stain with soap and warm water. Make sure the soap is gentle and mild, as harsh detergents may not only fail to remove the stain but also cause damage to the fabric. Gently work the soap into the fabric and let it sit for a few minutes before rinsing off.

Step 3: Apply Stain Remover

Once pre-treatment is done, you can apply a stain remover that is specifically formulated for ink stains. If you don't have a specialty ink remover, regular laundry detergent should do the job just as well. Work the stain remover into the fabric and let it sit for about 15 minutes before rinsing it off.

You can also try soaking your boxers in a mixture of white vinegar, baking soda, and hot water. Let the boxers soak for at least an hour before washing it as usual.

Conclusion

Cleaning ink stains from boxers does not have to be difficult. By following these three simple steps, you can restore your boxers to their former glory in no time!
