Often on clothes you can meet an ink spot: the pen has leaked, the child sloppily wrote at school and painted himself - but how many such absurd cases. It is not easy to remove a stain from ink from a fabric, but it is quite possible.
How to remove a fresh stain from ink from clothes?
Just placed stains are removed most easily. Immediately blot the stain with a paper towel, pressing it tightly for a few seconds. But do not wet the ink and do not try to wash them with water - this will only exacerbate the problem.
When the paper absorbs a part of the ink, then take the alcohol and soak a piece of cotton wool. Press it to the spot, but do not rub or smear it. Simply work on the stain, alcohol perfectly dissolves and neutralizes the dye in the ink. If necessary, change the cotton wool and repeat the procedure again.
Another way to get a stain out of ink is to use ammonia. This solution is applicable only for non-synthetic tissues. It is necessary to mix 2 parts of alcohol and 1 part of an aqueous solution of ammonia. Similarly - we moisten the cotton swab and press it against the spot.
After these procedures, the thing needs to be washed in the usual way.
How to remove stuck stains of ink?
If the stain is on clothes for a long time, the task of removing it will be more difficult, but you can try. So, how can you remove stains from ink that have already dried up?
Try to moisten it with lemon juice and leave for half an hour. When the stain softens, apply a mixture of glycerin and alcohol (1: 1) to it. Dampen the swab and gently wipe the stain until it disappears.
