I’ve just got black ink on a cotton white eyelet blouse, how do I treat it till I get home, and then what could I treat it with to help remove the stain. The source of the ink is the little drops that are used to refill a stamp.

    ­Use the following steps to remove ink stains from Acrylic Fabric, Cotton, Linen, Modacrylic, Nylon, Olefin, Polyester or Spandex:­

    •Try a light spray of hair spray to loosen the laundry stains.

    •Soak in a solution of 1 quart warm water, 1/2 teaspoon dishwashing detergent, and 1 tablespoon white vinegar for 30 minutes; use care when using vinegar on cotton and linen.

    •Rinse with water and allow to dry.

    •If stain persists, apply rubbing alcohol to the stain and cover with an absorbent pad moistened with alcohol (use alcohol sparingly on acrylic and modacrylic). Let stand as long as any stain is being removed. Change pad as it picks up the stain. Keep both the stain and pad moist with alcohol. Flush with alcohol and allow to dry.

    •If any trace of stain remains, soak in a solution of 1 quart warm water, 1/2 teaspoon dishwashing detergent, and 1 tablespoon ammonia for 30 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with water and allow to dry.

    You’ll want to spray a little white vinegar on the stain let it sit for 15 minutes then Sponge the stain with water to remove as much ink as possible. Then use a paper towel to soak up the water and pat the stain dry after you’ve done this turn the comforter over and spray the infected side with on if these: hairspray, Vodka, Tonic Water, 7-up, or more vinegar Blot the back side with a clean terry cloth washcloth to further remove as much ink as possible. (just like you did to the front)

    After you’ve done all of this wash in a washing machine just like normal and the stain should be gone.

    Hi..i would try hand cleaner like the mechanics use. It is cheap and can be bought at Walmart or Canadian tire. Rub it on, let sit for a half hour, then wash as usual. I use it for all kinds of stains and have never seen it damage anything..
