Whether it was pen, fountain pen, or permanent marker, ink stains require a delicate approach. Using too harsh of chemicals can damage delicate fabrics, so always test any cleaning solutions on a hidden area before getting started. Here are some steps to help you remove ink stains from your swimwear:
- First, rinse stain with cold water.
- Create a paste made out of equal parts water and liquid dish soap.
- Rub paste gently onto the stained area.
- Using a clean white cloth, blot the stain.
- If the stain persists, mix one teaspoon of ammonia with one cup of lukewarm water.
- Soak a white cloth in solution and apply it to stain. Allow it to sit for a few minutes.
- Rinse with cold water.
- Repeat as needed until the stain fades.
- To prevent further damage, line dry or dry with cool air only.
If stain remains after trying these methods, bring your swimsuit to a professional cleaner. With luck and a lot of patience, your bathing suit will be back to its original glory!
