What You’ll Need

  • Stain remover spray or paste
  • Green scrubbing pad
  • Clean cloth

Step 1: Pre-Treat the Stain

If the ink stain is fresh, use a damp cloth and some mild dish soap to blot and pre-treat the stain. Work in circular motion and be sure not to rub too hard. This should be enough to lift any excess ink off the fabric.

Step 2: Apply Stain Remover

Next, spray or apply a paste-type stain remover directly to the stain. Wait for the stain remover to set in, usually no longer than 5 minutes, then rub the stained area with a green scrubbing pad.

Step 3: Rinse and Dry

Once you're done scrubbing, rinse the area with clean water and pat dry with a clean cloth. If the stain is still present, repeat steps 1-3 until it is gone.

Conclusion

Cleaning ink stains from tents and camping gear can be a challenge. However, with right supplies and a few simple steps, you can have your gear looking as good as new. So the next time you spot an ink stain, take a deep breath, follow these steps and you'll be rid of it soon enough.
