Comments on How to Remove Ink Stains From Fabric

It sounds crazy but it works. 1. Fill a container with milk 2. Put the ink stained item in the container, make sure the item is soaked overnight. 3. Wash the item as you normally would.

Put Vaseline on the ink spot. Put hair spray on a soft cloth until damp. Using the cloth, lightly rub the ink spot. This should take the ink right off. But be careful, it may also take some of the color out of the item. This worked like a miracle on my new pink leather jacket.

Black sharpie pigment appears to be iron based. I just got a big blotch from a black sharpie on light tan cargo pants. I tried mixing about a teaspoon of Iron Out powder (see the laundry aisle of your grocery store) with very hot water and rubbed the paste into the stain. I laudered the pants separately with Tide With Bleach Alternative and 1/4 cup Oxyclean (for peroxide relase) and 1/4 cup Iron Out. Note: be careful around Iron Out. Iron Out powder or fumes from the liquid may cause serious respiraroy distress. Wear rubber gloves to protect your skin.

I have these whit egyption cotton sheets I love, and being the klutz I am, I knew one day I would get something on them. Sure enough not a week later I set down my red Sharpie pen and a big red circle appeared on my sheets. I tried everything, and 10 min later it was gone. First i soaked the stain in pure bleach, then sprayed it with half a bottle of hairspray blotting with a towel. This really worked, so if anyone has a similar problem, don't freak out, this actually works.

I found that Non Acetone professional nail polish remover worked even faster than the hand sanitizer. It's ingredients include ethyl, methyl, and isopropyl alcohol. I had gotten a dark purple Sharpie stain on a shirt that was not white - so I could not use bleach. I just kept blotting the fabric, using a new piece of paper towel every now and then to absorb the stain coming through.

I just tried a little nail polish remover to take ballpoint pen ink out of a white sheet. It worked beautifully -- no scrubbing required! I haven't tried it on colored fabric, so take care.

After reading tips about using alcohol, I noticed that I keep a bottle of hand sanitizer with me most of the time. Looking at the label, it is 62% ethyl alcohol. The stain is gone!

Even if it's been washed and dried, there's hope! Soak clothes in hot water and 1 cup of baking soda, 1 cap of Tide and 2 cups of Spray Nine cleaner for about an hour. Spray Nine is the best cleaner for anything! It just salvaged a whole load of whites and lights. The stains are all gone!

To remove ink from cotton clothes, even when they have been washed and dried several times, use rubbing alcohol and a Q-tip. Just dip the Q-tip in alcohol and scrub over the ink until it's gone, rinse and then wash and dry.

Squirt a small amount of hair spray on your ink stain, and quickly blot with a tissue. Wash the article of clothing as soon as possible.
