What is Poplin?
Poplin is a lightweight fabric with a soft, slightly shiny finish that is often used for skirts, blouses, and suits. It's also quite durable and easy to care for. Unfortunately, ink stains can still leave dark spots on this fabric if not treated quickly.
How to Remove Ink Stains from Poplin
To remove ink stains from poplin, follow these steps:
- Mix equal parts white vinegar and warm water in a bowl.
