Step 1: Absorbing the Stain
The first step in removing an ink stain from cotton poplin is to absorb as much of it as possible. To do this, cover the stained area with a few sheets of paper towels and press firmly for about 15 seconds to help absorb some of the ink. Repeat this step several times until the paper towels come away clean or no longer absorb any ink.
Step 2: Treating the Stain
Once you have absorbed as much ink as you can, it is time to treat the stain. Use an enzyme detergent such as Shout Advanced Action Gel and spray it liberally over the stain. Allow the detergent to sit for 5-15 minutes before scrubbing stain with a damp cloth. If the stain is still visible, spray the detergent again and let it sit for a few more minutes before scrubbing again.
Step 3: Washing and Drying
The final step to removing an ink stain from your cotton poplin garment is to wash it in the washing machine. Use the hottest temperature that is safe for fabric and add a stain remover or pre-treatment product such as OxiClean Max Force to the load of laundry. Allow the garment to air dry afterwards to ensure that the stain has been completely removed.
You should now have a stain-free cotton poplin garment! With a few simple steps, you can easily keep your cotton fabrics looking their best.
