Stain Remover for Clothing & Fabrics

How Do I get Pen Ink Out of Clothing?

In the event of an ink disaster on your favorite piece of clothing or a couch, knowing the right methods can save you from despair. The removal process, when done correctly, is straightforward and can rescue your items from what might seem like a permanent blemish.

Methods for Removing Ink from Clothing

For those accidental pen leaks onto garments, effective techniques to tackle ink involve ready-to-use cleaning pastes. Start by moistening the affected spot with water. Then, apply our cleaning paste directly onto the stain, thoroughly covering it. With the solution in place, briskly work the fabric against itself to help lift the stain. Immediate fading should be noticeable. Afterwards, launder the piece of clothing normally but refrain from using the dryer until the stain is completely gone.

Remove Tough Ink Stains from Clothes & Upholstery

Removing Ink from Upholstery

When upholstery is at the receiving end of an ink mishap, a slightly different approach is required. Use a wet terry towel to apply the cleaning paste to the stained area. Vigorously rub in a circular motion without spreading the stain further. Once the ink begins to lift, go over it with a dry terry cloth towel to absorb any remaining residue. A patch test for colorfastness before starting and careful adherence to care instructions will go a long way in preserving your upholstery's integrity.
