We sell various products will help with the removal of many ink stains. We also sell a spot cleaning chemical that has been pretty good at getting out ink, called "Ultra" (see below). Check out our "Bottled Chemicals For Sale" section by clicking here. TIPS FOR REMOVING INK STAINS: Ink uses moisture as a vehicle to spread. It must be properly handled and cleaned. Always use caution and remember these helpful tips: 1) Be sure, as you clean, to work from the outside of the stain towards the center. Keep it as dry as possible in order to prevent the stain from spreading. 2) You should use an absorbent substance such as corn meal or cornstarch to absorb the ink and the solvent as you clean. Keep removing the stained absorbent substance and apply more until no more ink is absorbed. This will help prevent the ink from spreading and thus causing a much larger problem. 3) Mix some of the absorbent substance with water (or half water and half alcohol) to form a paste and put it on the stain. Allow the paste to dry, then brush it off. Repeat a number of times if necessary. 4) Finally, much success has been found by using hair-spray on such stains. But you still must follow the WARNING guidelines below as you proceed. BALLPOINT: Since some types will wash out, while others will
be set by washing, test first by making a mark on a similar material
in an inconspicuous area. If the stain will not wash out of your
sample, you will need to use something containing an acetone,
amyl acetate, or ammonia. Sponge the stain repeatedly. For a
stubborn stain, apply the solvent, thn water, then a bleach.
Repeat as many times as necessary.
