Things You'll Need

2. Once you have some soap on the ink mark, take a few drops of water, and add it to the soapy ink spot. With the tip of your fingernail, gently rub the ink spot, loosening the ink from the area.

3. Use water to remove the ink that rises to the top of the suds. Add more soap if necessary.

4. Continue to rub the area gently with your nail, until all the soap is removed.

5. Rinse area to remove all soap and ink.
