Steps for Removing Ink Stains from Handbags
- Prepare your materials. Gather rubbing alcohol, white vinegar, a cotton swab, and a cloth.
- Dampen the cloth with rubbing alcohol. This step is important as rubbing alcohol works to break down ink particles.
- Gently dab the stain using the cloth soaked in rubbing alcohol. Do not rub, as this could cause the stain to spread out.
- Rinse the cloth with white vinegar. White vinegar helps to remove excess ink that wasn't wiped away by the rubbing alcohol.
- Moisten the cotton swab with white vinegar and gently dab the stained area. Avoid scrubbing the fabric to prevent it from being damaged.
- Allow handbag to dry completely before using.
