Ink stains on uniforms are frustrating—but they don’t have to be permanent. Whether it’s a school shirt or office wear, this easy at-home method can help lift ink without damaging fabric.
✨ What You’ll Need:
Rubbing alcohol or hand sanitizer (clear)
Cotton pad or clean cloth
Paper towel
Mild detergent
Cold water
đź‘• Step-by-Step Method:
1️⃣ Place a paper towel under the stain
This absorbs ink as it lifts and prevents spreading.
2️⃣ Apply rubbing alcohol or hand sanitizer
Dab (don’t rub) the ink stain gently with a cotton pad. You’ll see the ink start transferring onto the paper towel below.
3️⃣ Blot patiently
Keep dabbing with clean cotton until no more ink comes out. Take your time—gentle works better than force.
4️⃣ Rinse with cold water
Rinse the stained area from the back of the fabric to flush out remaining ink.
5️⃣ Wash as usual
Use mild detergent. Do not use hot water until the stain is fully gone.
⚠️ Important Tips:
Always test on a hidden area first
Avoid heat—it sets ink permanently
Act quickly for best results
