- Blot the stained area with a clean cloth to remove any excess ink.
- Mix one part dish soap and two parts water in a bucket or bowl and stir until it forms suds. Soak the stained garment in the mixture for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Wash the garment according to the care instructions on tag. For example, if it is a machine-washable fabric, set washer to the delicate cycle and use cold water. If it’s a dry-clean only fabric, then take it to the dry cleaners.
- If the stain is still visible, apply an enzyme-based spot remover directly to the stain and let it sit for 15 minutes.
- Rinse the garment in cool water and check for any remaining stain.
- Apply rubbing alcohol directly to the stain and let it sit for a few minutes.
- Wash the garment again according to the care instructions on tag and hang it up to dry. Do not put the garment in the dryer.
If all else fails, you may want to take your garment to the dry cleaners. Professional cleaners often have specialized cleaning products that can help get rid of stubborn stains.
