It’s your best day ever, your friends and co-workers light up whenever come near, and everyone’s smiling ear to ear. You always knew you were brilliant, it’s about time somebody finally saw it. So you just pop into the men’s room to run a comb through your hair and you suddenly understand just why you’re so damn magnetic today.. You’ve been walking around all day with a coffee cup-sized blotch of ink seeping from the pen in your breast pocket. Brilliant.
Ink Stain Removal from Clothing and Carpets
When removing ink stains from your clothes, read all of the labels first to make sure they’re washable, otherwise bring them to the dry cleaners.
- Saturate the stain with an alcohol-based hair spray
- Place some paper towels underneath the garment and dab (don’t rub) it dry with paper towels. The ink should start wicking into the towels.
- Repeat the last two steps until the stain is gone, or it is no longer fading.
- If the ink stain persists, repeat steps 1 and 2 using an alcohol-based nail polish remover in place of the hairspray.
- If the ink stain still persists, soak the garment overnight in whole-fat milk, then launder normally. Don’t put it in the dryer until the stain is gone, or you’ll make it harder to remove.
If after completing the above steps you still have ugly ink stains, bring the garment to your local dry cleaners.
Ink Stain Removal from Surfaces
If you’ve gotten ink on a hard surface and your usual degreasers and kitchen cleaners can’t make a dent, pick up a commercial ink remover from your local hardware store. If you can’t find one, soak the area in soapy water with a few drops of ammonia, scrub (if the surface can take it), rinse, and dry.
If that doesn’t work you can try using paint thinner or denatured alcohol – these can damage some surfaces, including wood floors and painted walls so be careful. Always try this first in an area that is not visible to make sure it won’t hurt the surface!

Rubbing alcohol works great!!! Took ink right out of my bed spread without hassel!!!
I looked up to see my 3 year old wrighting on sticky notes for pretend movie passes, i thought, “ohh how cute”….boy was i wrong! when i came back in the room a few min later she had circled the “passes” in ink on the hard wood floor. i tryed every cleaner under the sink! windex dulled it but it was still there! so i ended up here, at this site. I am very happy to say, Hairspray saved the day! i sprayed the circle with Hairspray, and very lightly took and SOS pad to the ink cirle! it came off no problem:) THANK YOU SOO MUCH!
I am refinishing funiture. There was a pattern that was ink based that has soaked into the wood. I have striped and sanded the funiture and am unable to remove the black pen marks. Does anyone have any ideas?

I washed my clothes with a ballpoint pen…ahhh! the clothes werent my biggest problem, however the blue ink splattered dryer was where my worry was focused. I tried all the usual cleaners under my sink then my girlfriend had the great idea of using rubbing alcohol. It worked great! And thats why im with her.
Well my pen exploded on my dress. ugh! How do i get rid of it? Hairspray? Nail Polish Remover? Tell me!

thank you who ever found this out ur a proper legend (Y)
to remove any stain, including ink, use TSP - what painters recommend to clean walls before painting. It’s the greatest!
My boyfriend left me a note on the toilet seat (weird I know), but did not think that the permanent marker used on toilet paper would go through. WHOOPS! It did. We flipped because we were staying at his parents’ house, and his mom would not be happy. We tried Lysol wipes and soap and water … but to our surprise, NAIL POLISH REMOVER worked very well on the surface. It may have taken off a bit of the finish, but not enough for the amount we used to be noticable. Good luck if you ever, for some odd reason, find yourself in the same situation. Count on the nail polish remover - not just for manicures anymore.
Hairspray works great! Just spray some on then wash the fabric like normal! really helps for mostly any size ink stain!!
