Step 1: Blot the area

Gently blot area with a clean white cloth, pressing down firmly to absorb the excess ink. Do not rub or scrub the fabric as this can cause damage to delicate silk fibers.

Step 2: Apply hairspray

Spray the stained area with a non-aerosol hairspray and let it sit for a few minutes. Carefully use a clean cloth to dab the area and check if the mark has been removed. If not, repeat the process.

Step 3: Cleanse with rubbing alcohol

Once the hairspray has been applied and the mark is still visible, use a cotton ball soaked in rubbing alcohol to dab the area. Allow the fabric to air dry.

Step 4: Launder carefully

Place the garment in the washer on the delicate cycle and use a mild detergent. Run the cycle twice for extra cleaning power. After washing, hang to dry or tumble dry on the lowest heat setting.

Bonus Tip: Call a professional

If despite your best efforts the stain remains, consider calling a professional cleaner who is experienced in dealing with delicate fabrics.
