How to Clean Ink Stains?


Ink stains show up on walls, tables, carpets, clothes, even computer screens. It may sound like a nuisance, but with a bit of effort and a few tricks, those ink stain victims around the house or office can be quickly salvaged. How should you act in such situation?

Inspect the stain. Determine what surface is stained and what made the stain. (Figure out who made the stain later). Taking actions quickly is always best.
Carpet cleaning London” advises you to use stain-removal products such as Magic Carpet Cleaner, Dye-Gone, Re Du Ran or Amodex. These are available on-line or in your local hardware or grocery store. Always read the labels carefully and use the products as directed.
If those products aren't available don't fall into despair. Simply use home alternatives. For stains on upholstery that you can't launder, try acetone (the active ingredient in nail polish remover). Always test the upholstery in an inconspicuous spot before you forge ahead. For white fabrics, combine lemon juice and salt into paste and rub it into the stain. Place it in the sun to dry and check it in a few hours. For colored fabric you can wash, soak the stained piece in milk overnight and wash it in the morning.
Grab a tube of whitening toothpaste for ink on walls, tables and such. Rub the toothpaste on the stained area and wait 10 minutes. Wipe with a clean cloth and repeat as necessary. Make sure to give it a bit of elbow grease.
Continue gently when removing stains from computer monitors. It would be better if you use the cleaner recommended by your computer company. If none is available, you can use baby wipes or ammonia-free spray cleaners. According to “House cleaning London” you can alternatively spot clean with acetone on cotton balls or swabs. Remember!!! Always test any cleaner in the corner of your monitor before you start swiping! Always be gentle with computer equipment.
