HELP! ink stains?
Question:I accidently washed and dryed a red gel pen in a load of mixed colors laundry.what can i use to get the ink out without ruining my colored clothes and over bleaching my whites?
Answers:
Hair Spray
white upholstery and your new shirt. Squirt the stain with hair spray and the pen marks should come right off
Milk
To remove ink stains from colored clothes, an overnight milk bath will often do the trick. Just soak the affected garment in milk overnight and launder as usual the next day.
Nail Polish Remover
If the ink stains on your skin won't come off with soap and water, they are probably not water-soluble. Try using nail polish remover instead. Take a cotton ball and wipe the affected areas with the solution. Once the ink stains are gone, wash skin with soap and water. Nail polish remover can also eliminate ink stains on the drum of your clothes dryer.
Remove ink stains
Ink on your favorite shirt or dress? Try soaking the spot in rubbing alcohol for a few minutes before putting the garment in the wash
Toothpaste
Oh no, a pen opened up in the pocket of your favorite shirt! This may or may not work, depending on the fabric and the ink, but it is certainly worth a try before consigning the shirt to the scrap bin. Put non-gel toothpaste on the stain and rub the fabric vigorously together. Rinse with water. Did some of the ink come out? Great! Repeat the process a few more times until you get rid of all the ink. The same process works for lipstick
Erase ballpoint-pen marks
dab some full-strength white vinegar on the "masterpiece" using a cloth or a sponge. Repeat until the marks are gone. Then go out and buy your child a nice big sketch pad
Good Luck !
i dont think you can do anything hun
Soak laundry powder in cold water. Drop the material in it and soAK FOR 30 MINUTES. Rinse and try to soak again. Repeat until the ink stain fades out.
Try hairspray. It works for me, but I don't know if it will work on something that has already been dried.
