How to remove ink from clothes

Children nowadays often come home covered in ink. It is not so bad if the clothes are dark in color, as they cannot be seen unless you wash them carefully. But nowadays children basically wear school uniforms, and if there are some white areas splashed with ink, it cannot be washed clean, which is ugly. When encountering this situation, do parents and friends have the same headache as I do? Don’t worry, today we will learn how to remove ink from clothes.

First, a few notes:

1. If clothes are stained, they must be dealt with on the spot, because the stains may be difficult to remove over time.

2. There is also an order for removing stains, which is to use water first, then detergent (or stain remover), and finally medicine to avoid damaging the clothes.

Start learning now:

Buy some oxalic acid (granular) from a chemical store, soak and scrub the clothes stained with pen stains in water dissolved in oxalic acid to remove the stains. Since oxalic acid is a weak acid, it will not corrode clothes.

1. To wash ink stains on clothes: wash new stains with cold water first, then soak them in warm soapy water for a while, and then rinse with clean water; old stains can be washed with detergent first, and then rubbed with 10% alcohol solution to remove them.

2. Ink stains: Mix rice grains and detergent, apply it to the stained part and rub it, then rinse it with clean water; you can also use a solution made of one part alcohol and two parts soap to apply it repeatedly, which also has good results.

3. After washing the ink stains, use detergent, or mix glutinous rice with detergent, or apply toothpaste on the stained part and rub it, then rinse with clean water. If it is silk, lay the stain face down on a clean paper, apply dry cleaning agent or alcohol, rub the back of the stain on the silk fabric until the stain disappears, then wash and rinse.

To remove blue ink stains, first wash with laundry detergent, and then wash with 10% alcohol solution. You can also rub it with a small amount of concentrated milk and then wash it. To remove red ink stains, first soak them in cold water, then rub them repeatedly with soap, and then use potassium permanganate solution to wash off the residues.

Isn’t it simple? No matter it is a new stain or an old stain, just a little bit of oxalic acid or milk can solve the problem that has troubled us for a long time so simply. We no longer have to worry or go crazy because our children come home covered in ink. Dear mothers, please try it out when you have time.
