How to Remove Ink Stains from Clothes?

We all might have at least a pair of clothing in our wardrobe with Ink stains! The stains of Ink can be pretty difficult to remove from the fabric, but here are some mind-blowing tricks to get those stains out of the clothes! There are several household products you can use to blot your stain, all depending on what you have on-hand! Attack the stain as soon as possible for best results. For sure, you’ll be wearing your favourite shirt again in no time!


•    Rubbing alcohol: It is effective at getting out any kind of ink stain, whether it be from a marker or a ballpoint pen. Dab with rubbing alcohol. Dip a clean white cloth or sponge in rubbing alcohol, then begin dabbing at the stain, blotting gently. If you succeeded in getting out the stain, launder the garment as you usually would.
•    Use glycerin and dish detergent. Mix 1 tablespoon of glycerin and 1 teaspoon of liquid dish detergent in a bowl. Dip a white cloth into the glycerin mixture and dab at one side of the stain. When you don’t see any more of the stain being lifted, flip the garment over and dab the other side of the stain.
•    Use baking soda and water. To lift up the stain with baking soda, mix together a 2 to 1 combination of baking soda and water in a small bowl to make a loose paste. Use a cotton ball to apply the paste onto the ink stain, then dab with the cotton ball. Once the stain has been removed or is no longer lifting, wipe off the paste with a clean cloth or paper towel.

•    Clean the stain with white vinegar. If you have not succeeded in getting out the stain, soak the entire garment in a 1 to 1 solution of white vinegar and water for 30 minutes. While the garment is soaking, gently blot the stain with a sponge or cloth every 10 minutes or so. Then launder your garment as usual.

Very simple, no? So, no more worries! Just try these simple hacks to make your favourite outfits smile again. Let them get rid of the ink stains and leap on to you.
