Removing stains from fabric
There are several tools for removing stains from a ballpoint pen or gel pen on fabric, but not all can be used on delicate materials. Ink traces are removed with the following compositions:
- Ammonia.
- A mixture of turpentine and ammonia.
- Milk.
- Acetone and alcohol.
- Sour milk.
- Lemon juice.
- Soda.
- Gasoline.
- Mustard Powder.
- Alcohol and salt.
- Ammonia and hydrogen peroxide.
- Talc.
- Mel.
- Starch.
Cotton and Linen
To treat a white soiled surface, use a cotton swab dipped in warm ammonia solution( 5 ml per cup of warm water).After cleansing with a compound, wipe the fabric with any detergent.
Color product can be processed mixed in equal proportions of ammonia and turpentine. Paste impose on the spot and incubated until complete removal of traces of a ballpoint pen. Rinse and wash the item after treatment.
For all materials, a recipe of alcohol and acetone in the same ratio will do. Heated in a water bath solution is applied to pollution from a ballpoint pen and ironed through gauze dipped in water. If on white clothes appeared light blue stains - the stain is rubbed with ammonia.
The handle( only a fresh spot) removes sour milk from almost any tissue. In the undiluted product, the product is soaked, and then washed with ammonia added to the soap solution.
All fabrics except white can be treated with undiluted lemon juice. With this method, the ink is removed without consequences for the product.
Velvet
How to wash the handle with clothes made of velvet has been known since antiquity. The most effective means is milk. For a successful result, you need to complete 2 points:
- The spot is fresh.
- Milk warmed.
The product is simply soaked for about half an hour, then washed using special SMS for velvet.
Silk, wool and other delicate fabrics
Soda paste can be applied to delicate materials - this is the most gentle way to remove contaminants from the handle shaft. After 5-7 minutes with a cotton swab, the cleaning composition is removed and the product is washed.
A mixture of gasoline and soap solution or kerosene will help to clean the wool and silk fabrics from ink. The cleaning composition with a tampon is applied to the stain, and the stains are removed with hydrochloric acid( 2%).An excellent result can be achieved by using mustard powder mixed with water to form a paste. Traces of a ballpoint pen are well impregnated with the agent and left for 2-3 hours. A prerequisite for obtaining a good result is the subsequent washing of the fabric in cold water.
Denim
Jeans can be pretreated with a solution of alcohol( or an alcohol-containing product), followed by rubbing the stain from the gel or ballpoint pen with table salt. After this procedure, the product can be washed the first time.
You can use the acid( acetic essence or lemon juice will do).An aqueous solution of acids is heated until the first bubbles appear and poured onto the surface of jeans - the stain brightens and disappears before the eyes. Washing in the normal mode will complement the process.
When stains from a red rod appear, the surface of jeans is treated with ammonia, and if the ink color is black or purple, the alcohol solution of acetone will cope with contamination. In the case of a light shade of material, a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and ammonia is used in the same ratio.
Fresh ink pollution of jeans can be sprinkled with starch( chalk or talc will also do) and blot with a napkin. The predominant part of the stain is absorbed into the dressing and after washing it disappears completely.
Removing stains from skin
Leather jackets, sofas, gloves, bags and other products are cleaned of ink( gel or ball) using one of the following:
- Salt and turpentine.
- Scotch and eraser.
- Cosmetic Cream.
- Glycerin and ammonia.
- Alcohol.
- Hairspray.
Salt generously sprinkle the appeared pollution on the skin and leave for several days. After you need to shake off the salt and rub well with turpentine stain.
You can try to remove the ink stain with tape. Adhesive tape is glued and strongly pressed to the soiled place, then it is peeled off, and the surface is cleaned with a clerical eraser( it is good to use a special one to remove ink from paper).
Use hand cream, face or even feet easily enough: put on the stain and leave for 2-3 minutes. Remove the cream from contamination with a clean, dry cotton swab, and then wash it with a warm, mild soap solution.
On light skin, you can use glycerin and ammonia, mixed in equal proportions. Before washing the gel( ball) pen with this method, you can try only glycerin. Apply it with a cotton swab and leave, then wipe the contamination with a clean cloth.It is possible to remove a fresh stain from the rod on the skin with alcohol( cologne, alcohol lotion, alcohol-impregnated wet wipes or toilet water are also used).The composition is applied to contamination and immediately wipe with a dry cloth, after which the procedure is repeated.
In women, hairspray is particularly popular as a means for removing pen marks on leather surfaces. It is simply sprayed on the surface and immediately wipe, then the procedure is repeated.
In order to avoid unpleasant surprises, all home remedies should be tested on small, inconspicuous areas and only after that extensive contamination should be processed. Better and faster to remove fresh blots. If, as a result, you are not quite sure( especially when things are contaminated from genuine leather), then it is better to dry the product. Professionals have in their arsenal a lot of really effective tools created specifically for such cases, and they have more experience. True, the work will have to pay a round sum. But this is nothing compared to the return of a presentable look to your favorite expensive furniture or clothing.
