Answers:
I was always told that hairspray is supposed to remove ink stains, but I've never tried it.
Try soaking it in oxyclean - that's what I use to remove most of the stains at my home.
colour it all in black... but dont get any on your clothes while you are doing it because then you will have to paint them aswell
if it is a white handbag bleech it. if n ot try to dry clean it. or wash it
nail polish remover or rubbing alchol
Use a pair of scissors.. ;)
rub the lining mark with half a lemon, or squeeze lemon juice on it. Then press the stained area between two pieces of white cotton cloth. Repeat as necessary, then rinse.
Treat leather ink stains with milk or tomato. Cover stains with a little milk, or rub with the cut side of half a tomato. Rinse well with clear water.
Methylated spirit removes ink and grass stains. Apply with soft cloth then rinse with warm water , dry well
There are stain devils that can be bought to remove ink stains. These can be purchased from any supermarket.
They usually work at their best when the stain is relatively new.
Fingers crossed.
try some white tooth paste
