You discover a pesky ballpoint pen mark on your clothes or worse, a pen leaks! Or perhaps it&#8217;s (cringe!) permanent marker. You may need to result to bleach for this one, but before you do that, why not give one of these stain removal methods a go?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-method-1-pen-ink-stain-removal\">Method 1: Pen ink stain removal<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-items-you-will-need-9\">Items you will need:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Cleaning cloth<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Liquid laundry detergent<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-steps-10\">Steps:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1.<\/strong> If the stain is fresh, blot the stain with a clean cloth to transfer the ink to the cleaning cloth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2.<\/strong> Pour a little laundry detergent on to the stain and allow to sit for 5 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3.<\/strong> Wash on a hot cycle (as hot as the garment fabric allows) and check the stain before drying. If it&#8217;s still there, repeat the process while the garment is still wet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-method-2-permanent-pen-ink-stain-removal\">Method 2: Permanent pen ink stain removal<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Permanent marker is called permanent for a reason. It&#8217;s a tricky one to remove but before you throw out the clothing or upholstery with pen on it, give this a try first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-items-you-will-need-9\">Items you will need:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>2 x cleaning cloths or paper towel<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rubbing alcohol. We often use Isocol (the green bottle with a crocodile on it), available in the health and beauty aisle of the supermarket.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-steps-10\">Steps:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. <\/strong>Place 1 cleaning cloth or paper towel behind the stain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2.<\/strong> Using the second cloth or paper towel, blot the rubbing alcohol onto the stain. As the stain transfers to the cloth behind, move the cloth to allow more dye to transfer to the cloth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3.<\/strong> Repeat until as much of the stain has been removed as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4.<\/strong> Rinse and repeat if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5.<\/strong> If the stain is gone (hooray!) wash on the hottest setting suitable for the fabric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6.<\/strong> If the stain is NOT gone (boo!) you may need to fully submerge the fabric* it in a solution of oxygen bleach and water (check the safe ratio on the bleach bottle).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>7.<\/strong> <em>Still there?! <\/em>Make up another bleach and water solution and repeat the soaking process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>*Note:<\/em><\/strong> Oxygen bleach is not suitable to use on silk, wool, or fabrics with leather trim or wooden buttons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>We hope these stain removal hacks help you rescue a garment or your upholstered furniture!
