What You'll Need

  • Hairspray
  • Dish soap and water
  • Soft cloth
  • Isopropyl alcohol (if needed)

Step 1: Spray the Stain with Hairspray

Begin by spraying the stain with hairspray. Be sure to get the hairspray directly onto the stain — don't overspray, as too much can damage the material's finish. Allow the hairspray to sit for a few minutes before proceeding to the next step.

Step 2: Create a Soapy Solution

Mix a small amount of dish soap with lukewarm water in a bowl. Dip a soft cloth into solution and wring out any excess liquid. Then, use the damp cloth to gently scrub the stain.

Step 3: Rinse and Wipe

Once stain appears to be lifted, rinse the cloth in lukewarm water and wipe area to remove any remaining residue. Pat the area dry with a clean cloth or let it air dry.

Step 4: Use Isopropyl Alcohol (If Necessary)

If the stain still remains after following steps 1-3, try using isopropyl alcohol (also known as rubbing alcohol). Pour a small amount of alcohol on a cloth and dab at the stubborn stain. Allow it to sit for a few moments before rinsing with a damp cloth and patting it dry.

With a few simple steps, you can easily remove pesky ink stains from your wallet and restore it to its like-new look!
