How To Remove Pen Ink From Clothes After Washing?

Place a clean towel or paper towel under the stained area

Apply rubbing alcohol, hand sanitizer, or alcohol-based sanitizer directly to the ink stain

Blot the stain with a clean cloth until the ink lifts

Replace the towel underneath as it absorbs ink

Rinse the area with cold water

Apply liquid laundry detergent or stain remover to the spot

Gently rub the fabric together or use a soft brush

Let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes

Wash the clothing again in the warmest water safe for the fabric

Check the stain before drying

Repeat the treatment if needed

Avoid using the dryer until the stain is completely gone

For delicate fabrics, use a small amount of vinegar or a fabric-safe stain remover

For dried ink on white cotton, try a paste of baking soda and water

For stubborn stains, use a commercial ink remover according to the label

Test any treatment on a hidden area first
