Ink Stains

Ink stains fall into a few different categories. Water based ink stains are easier to remove and include markers that are available in different colors. Permanent ink stains can present a much tougher challenge and include permanent highliters and markers.

Alternative method- How to remove ink from clothes

One of the most popular and effective methods to remove ink from clothing, especially if it is a single stain, is to apply hairspray. Most prefer pump hairspray to aerosol. The hairspray should not have conditioners or oils, as this may stain one’s clothing with oil. Instead, choose simple hairspray with a high alcohol content. If one is choosing an aerosol spray to remove ink, use Aquanet or its generic equivalent. Spray a bit of hairspray on the stain and gently scrub to remove ink.

Multiple ink stains may be more difficult to remove, and in these cases, the detergent method may work better. One can also get out the stains by using stain remover like Shout®, or simply by treating each spot with a little liquid detergent, and then rubbing gently. Last, let the clothing sit for about 15-20 minutes and rewash. This will generally remove ink stains.

First dab the stain with lukewarm water until no more ink transfers out onto your absorbent pad. Next, soak the mark with hair spray and blot until, again, no more ink transfers out. Cheap hairspray often times work the best. Finally, dab with a mixture of warm water and clear or white dishwashing liquid.
