How To Remove Ink Stains Easily

By:


We have all had them- ugly, ink stains from forgotten, or defective pens. One minute your shirt is crisp and stain free, and the next, there is an ugly blue, black, or red stain that we are surely never going to get out. So what do we do? We throw the shirt away of course, another twenty-three dollars down the drain, and we go out and buy a brand new shirt to replace the old one.

The bad part about that is, it will probably end up in the garbage like the last one did which is throwing good money after bad. Some people just go out to the store and purchase an expensive solution. It likely will not get all the stain more because you have wasted time.
Save yourself some money, and treat the stain yourself. Many people think there is no way to remove ink from fabric, but there is. Before we address that, there are some things to keep in mind.

The first is to treat a stain as soon as you possibly can. The longer the stain remains in the fabric, the harder it will be to remove. If there is no way you can treat the stain immediately, rinse the stain with water before it has a chance to set, until you can treat it.

Second, when removing stains never rub the stained area, as this will transfer the ink to other parts of the fabric that were unsoiled. Instead, try blotting the area.

Third, always place an old, white towel, or a paper towel under the stained garment. This method will allow the towel to catch the stain, making it less likely to spread. Now that that is out of the way, a good way to remove ink stains from fabric is to spray the stained area thoroughly with hairspray. The brand does not matter. Let the fabric sit for two to three minutes, and blot with a damp towel. Place a white towel beneath the stained area to catch the stain. Do this until the stain begins to disappear.

Once this is done, launder the item as you usually would. The stain should be gone, and you should never put another uncapped pen in your pocket again. Another effective method for removing ink from fabrics is to scrub the stained area with pure lemon juice.
