Steps:
It is not very easy to remove the
stains of a permanent ink. Bleaching the cloth is one option but it may leads
to the fading of the cloth. The following steps can help us to remove permanent
ink stains.
1. Place
your wet jeans above dry towels and quickly blot it with alcohol.
2. The
towel beneath the stain will start wetting out, therefore shift jeans to some
dry portion of the towel and then rub again. Keep moving the jeans on the dry
section of the towel whenever the towel beneath wets out.
3. Keep
on doing this process until no more stain left.
4. Wash
it with water and the stain will be removed completely. Make sure that the
alcohol is washed out properly.
5. If
still some Ink stain remains you can go for finger nail polish remover. Finger
nail polish remover is a hard stuff than alcohol. Therefore use it carefully.
It may damage the fabric if not carefully used. Firstly test it on the inner
side of the jeans and notice what happens.
6. After
it apply it on the stained area and blot it in the same way as you previously
did for alcohol. Continue blotting until no more stain left. In the same way
make sure to move the jeans to dry area of the towel as soon as it gets wet.
7. Wash
it as usual and rinse it properly. Surely you will have stained free jeans.

Clean white towels
or thick white tissues.

Hot water.
·
Finger nail polish
remover.
Steps:
To remove the ball point ink stains is
comparatively easier than to remove the permanent ink stain but they are
difficult to remove if we compare them with water based ink stains. You can
adopt the same procedure as adopted for permanent ink stains to remove the ball
point ink stains. In most of the cases stain will be removed completely only by
applying alcohol. But if stain still presents you can go for finger nail polish
remover. As already mentioned extra care will be required while using nail
polish remover.

the ink stain on the suede cloth with sandpaper. Suede clothes are made up of
fine elements. Rubbing it with sand paper will remove the fine elements. The
working principle is that the filaments having the stain will be removed. But
be careful not to rub too much as it may destroy your suede cloth.
3. Continue
rubbing until the stain is removed.

destroy your jeans.
