An easy way to remove ballpoint pen ink from clothes


Have you accidentally stained your clothes with ballpoint pen ink? It usually happens when you leave your pen in your pocket and it suddenly gets lost. It is not possible to remove it with the usual soap and water, but there is a simple trick you can do. Just follow these steps from House Keeper on Youtube.

To remove ballpoint pen ink from clothing, you need a few products. Most of these products are already present at home, so it is no longer necessary to go and buy them. My kids drew on my favorite white top and I desperately wanted to remove the stains. I tried this trick and surprisingly it worked! I was so happy that the stains were removed within minutes. Read on or watch the video below for full instructions.

I materials

  • vinegar
  • sale
  • white toothpaste
  • toothbrush to scrub the mixture
  • hot water
  • container

Instructions

Phase 1:

Add a few drops of vinegar to the ballpoint pen ink stain.

Level 2:

Add a little salt and then a little white toothpaste.

Phase 3:

Use the toothbrush to scrub the stain, mixing the ingredients. Continue rubbing until the fabric absorbs the mixture and the stain lightens a little. Make sure not to rub too hard, to avoid tearing the fabric.

Step 4:

Add some warm water to a container, then put the garment on. Leave to soak for about 15 minutes.

Step 5:

Rinse the fabric and wash it as you normally would. If the stain is still present, simply repeat the entire process and let it soak longer.
