How do you get the ink out of your clothes from a store security device?

Answer 1

Here are two methods to remove the ink from clothes. 1. Hairspray Hairspray will dissolve ink right away then wash out later (air dry to be sure it's out before drying with heat which would set it in). Most small ink stains on clothing or materials will be removed by simply applying hair spray on the stain. This will cause the ink to dissolve and it then it might be easily blotted out of the material. Soak and wash. If that doesn't work, see the following: 2. Rubbing Alcohol You can also use rubbing alcohol from the pharmacy to take out ink stains, as long as they have not set. The alcohol neutralizes the pigment in the ink so it disappears. * Cotton swabs or cotton balls * Tissues * Isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol Steps # When the ink stain has just happened, immediately blot the ink to remove the wet spot. # Dip a clean cotton swab or cotton ball into rubbing alcohol. # Dab at the ink mark with the cotton. # Use a tissue to absorb as much ink and rubbing alcohol as possible. # Switch tissues when there is too much ink on it. # Repeat this each time with a another step of rubbing alcohol on the cotton, tissues, etc. # It will take a long time, but the end results are acceptable, especially on darker fabrics. # Wash entire garment to assure color uniformity. * Wear latex gloves so the ink does not get on your hand * Always blot rather than rub. * For whites, dip a cotton swab lightly in bleach, and lightly dab the ink or other spots. Wash. * Make sure the cotton is not too wet with the rubbing alcohol, or the ink will run further down your clothes.
