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.
