Removing ink from clothing can be a tricky task because it is a pigment-based stain, meaning the ink particles bind to the fibers of the fabric. Additionally, many inks are water-resistant, meaning they don’t dissolve in water and can be difficult to remove with traditional laundry detergents.
Another reason why ink is difficult to remove is that it can spread quickly and penetrate deep into the fibers of the fabric. This makes it difficult to target and completely remove the stain. But there are a few methods that can help:
One method is to use a solution of equal parts water and rubbing alcohol. Apply the solution to the affected area, then blot it with a clean white cloth. Repeat this process until the ink is removed.

Another method is to use hairspray. Spray the hairspray directly onto the ink stain, then blot it with a clean white cloth. Repeat this process until the ink is removed.
A third method is to use a mixture of baking soda and water. Mix a paste with baking soda and water and apply it to the ink stain. Leave it on for a few minutes, then scrub the area with a brush and rinse the clothes with water. Repeat this process until the ink is removed.
It is important to note that when trying any of these methods, it is always a good idea to test a small, inconspicuous area of the fabric first to ensure that the method will not cause any damage or discoloration to the fabric. It’s also best to work on the stain as soon as possible, as fresh stains are easier to remove than set-in stains.
