How to Remove Ink Spots From Fabric

    Dry-Cleaning Solvent and Rubbing Alcohol Method

    • 1). Apply a dry-cleaning solvent to a sponge.

    • 2). Dab the ink stain with the saturated sponge until the ink stops bleeding.

    • 3). Rinse the fabric with cool water.

    • 4). Apply rubbing alcohol to a cloth.

    • 5). Sponge the ink stain with the saturated cloth. Allow the fabric to air-dry.

    • 6). Rub liquid laundry detergent on the stain if the ink is still present. Allow the detergent to sit on the fabric overnight.

    • 7). Rinse the fabric in cool water to remove the laundry detergent.

    • 8). Rub a prewash stain remover to the ink stain. Launder the fabric as you normally would.

    Glycerin Method

    • 1). Lay a clean towel directly underneath the ink stain. This will keep the stain from bleeding through.

    • 2). Saturate a cotton swab in glycerin. Glycerin is available in pharmacies and department stores nationwide. Alternatively, spray the cotton swab with hairspray.

    • 3). Rub the ink stain gently with the saturated cotton swab.

    • 4). Pour clean water into a bowl and add a few drops of liquid laundry detergent.

    • 5). Dip a clean cotton swab into the mixture. Rub the ink stain with the cotton swab.

    • 6). Launder the fabric in cool water as you normally would.
