Things You Need To Clean Ink Stains
- Cleaning Solution : Depending upon material of the wallet, you can use either rubbing alcohol, glycerin soap, or an approved leather cleaner to remove stain.
- Soft Cloth : The best choice is a cotton cloth, as it is gentle enough and absorbent enough to clean without causing damage.
- Damp Cloth : Use a damp cloth to wipe away any residual cleaning solution after the ink stain is gone.
Steps to Clean Ink Stain from Wallet
- Check the specifications of your wallet and find out what material it is made of. This will determine cleaning solution you should use.

Tips for Removing Ink Stains from Wallet
- Before cleaning the ink stain, do a spot test to make sure the cleaning solution won’t cause any damages to the wallet.
- Do not use too much pressure while cleaning the stain, as this might cause the wallet fabric to get stretched.
- If your wallet is made of a delicate fabric like silk, take it to a professional cleaner instead.
Conclusion
Cleaning ink stains from wallets may seem intimidating, but with the right cleaning technique and the necessary materials, it shouldn’t be too difficult. Always remember to follow cleaning instructions specified by the wallet's manufacturer and never use a cleaning solution that hasn't been tested on a small area first. Happy cleaning!
