Chiffon is a light, airy fabric that is a popular choice for clothing, linens, and accessories. It’s also one of the most delicate fabrics, which means that it can be easily damaged by ink stains. Fortunately, ink stains don’t have to ruin your favorite chiffon item. When you quickly act and use the right cleaning supplies, ink stains can be eliminated from chiffon without causing damage.
Cleaning Ink Stains from Chiffon
- Using a wet cloth or sponge, blot the stain to remove as much ink as possible. Do not rub stain, as this may spread the ink further.
- Mix 1 teaspoon of either liquid laundry detergent or liquid dishwashing detergent with 2 cups of cold water.
- Take a clean white cloth and dip it into the mixture. Gently press the stained area of the chiffon with damp cloth.
- Rinse the area with cool water, and then blot until the entire stain is removed. If the stain remains, repeat the process.
- Lay the chiffon item flat to dry.
Additional Tips
- If the stain is still present after blotting and rinsing with cool water, try spraying area with hairspray before treating it with the detergent solution.
- If the ink stain had time to dry before you noticed it, you may need to soak chiffon in the detergent solution for several minutes before treating it with the damp cloth.
- A small amount of rubbing alcohol applied to the ink stain with a cotton ball may also help to loosen the stain and make it easier to remove.
Conclusion
It’s important to take action immediately when you notice an ink stain on chiffon. With the right supplies and a few simple steps, even the most stubborn ink stains can be removed without damaging the delicate fabric.
