The Amazing Trick To Remove An Ink Stain From Clothes.

There you go, the ink stain on your garment is completely gone :-)

Quick, easy and efficient, don't you think?

This tip works with black or blue ink, Bic or felt pen stains, and on any fabric and clothing, jeans, T-shirts or shirts.

And it's also much cheaper than using one of those industrial and potentially toxic stain removers, like Vanish or K2r.

Additional advice

- Be aware that ink stains must be treated as soon as possible. Indeed, dry ink stains are much more difficult to remove!

- Thus, as soon as you make an ink stain on a textile, the first step is to press a paper towel firmly on the stain for several seconds. This will absorb excess ink.

- Be careful, just press the stained area . Indeed, if you wipe or rub the stain, you risk spreading the ink, which will make the stain more difficult to treat later.

Why does it work?

In the hand sanitizer gel, there is alcohol. And it is precisely the alcohol that will make the stain disappear.

The alcohol neutralizes the pigments in the ink (as long as the ink is not dry) and makes the stain disappear in no time.
