How to remove ink stains
The keys to removing ink stains are to pre-treat them as quickly as possible and to make sure that stains are completely removed before you put the items into the dryer. Here's what you can do to remove ink stains:
- Saturate the stained area with hair spray!
- Dab the stained area with a cloth or rag to lift off as much of the stain as possible. Repeat until stain is removed. You may need to do this several or many times.
- Wash using your preferred detergent and color-appropriate bleach.
- Do not put in the dryer unless the stain is completely removed, as this will 'set' the stain.
- If hair spray and washing do not remove the stain, take the item to a professional cleaner.
