How to battle those dreaded #inkstains
So that dreaded ink spot is back to haunt you; this time around on your much coveted pristine white CK shirt that your wife gifted you on your anniversary. Well, don’t waste time getting sentimental and losing your cool over it? Simply follow these essential tips to get rid of the stain and get your smile back:
1. Act fast: Do not allow the stain to stay for long. The sooner you treat it, the better results it would yield. Also, blotting and rubbing should be avoided at all costs.
2. Ammonia: Non-synthetic garments work well with ammonia. Prepare a mixture of about 2 parts of methylated spirit and one part of ammonia. Then soak the garment in this mixture and slowly add vinegar. Your shirt will be as good as new after a wash!
3. Lemon: Lemon juice and laundry detergent make for an excellent ink stain removal mixture. Apply it to the stain and let it hold for a few hours. Then wash the cloth in cold water as usual.
4. Milk: Milk is one of the most orthodox means employed to remove these stains. The water based stains work well with cold milk while warm milk makes for an excellent pre wash soak.
5. Salt: The utility of salt knows no bounds, if the ink stain is wet, pour salt over it and then dab the area with a wet paper towel. Remove and pat dry the salt. Repeat till the stain goes away completely.
The most important thing in such a situation is to keep calm and find a quick and easy solution to the problem. Why lose sleep over it and let it play spoilsport with your mood. Just put our tips to use…and voila, your shirt will be as good as new!
