Removal of red and blue ink stains

If you accidentally get ink on clean clothes, it is best to rinse it with water immediately. After washing, there will generally be yellow spots left on the clothes. At this time, use detergent to clean the stained area and it can generally be washed clean. If detergent cannot remove the yellow spots, white clothes can be washed with bleach, which is generally used to clean yellow spots or marks left on clothes. Because bleach is very harmful to clothes, it is not recommended to use bleach on colored clothes. It is best to use a milder method for colored clothes, such as soaking them in warm soapy water until the ink stains fade and then washing them according to the normal procedure. If it is silk clothing, when it is stained with ink, you can immediately put some absorbent paper under the dirt, and then pat the dirt with a wet cloth to move the ink to the absorbent paper.

If the ink on clothes is not discovered in time and is not found until washing clothes, it cannot be washed off with soap and detergent alone. At this time, the clothes should be soaked in a 2% oxalic acid warm water solution for a few minutes. Then wash with water to clean the water traces. You can also rub the dirt with 10% alcohol solution.

Removal of oily ink stains

No matter what kind of oily ink, it is mixed with dry resin or oil, which is not easy to wash off. Even if you wipe it with volatile oil, it won't be clean. At this time, you should use your hands to apply some detergent and rub the stained area, or use gauze dipped in some thinner or alcohol to gently pat it. But please note that if too much thinner is used, it will damage the fabric. Especially for synthetic fibers, the use of thinner should be absolutely prohibited. When you gently pat the ink with a signature pen or special ink (oily), be careful not to damage the fabric. When you first use it, it is best to try it on one end of the clothes to see if the dirt can be removed.

Among the solvents sold on the market, the only one that can actually remove ballpoint pen oil is glycerol vinegar. When using glycerin vinegar, first soak the dirty area with the solvent, then scrub it with a brush, and finally rinse it with water. If you feel that the dirty area is not clean enough, you can use bleach a few more times.

It should also be noted that if ordinary clothes are stained with ink, they can be washed with ordinary laundry detergent. If the clothes are made of special materials such as silk, special cleaning liquid must be used to wash them.
