For linen/polyester/nylon/Spandex/Lycra
Step 1: Test the solvent
Choose the cleaning solution of your choice — preferably alcohol based — and test it on an inconspicuous spot on the fabric to ensure it doesn't cause more damage.
Step 2: Drip alcohol
Place the stained area over the mouth of a jar or glass, and keep the fabric stretched tight to make sure the ink doesn’t spread. Drip alcohol through the stain. It will loosen the ink, which will then be dropped into the jar.
Step 3: Rinse and dry
Once the stain is removed, rinse the stained area well with water. Air dry and check to make sure the stain is really gone.
Step 4: Launder
If the stain is completely removed after drying, launder the item per the instructions given with the fabric.
For wool and silk
Step 1: Blot
For wool or silk fabric, the first step is to blot out as much ink as possible. Dampen your microfiber cloth or blotting paper with cold water, and dab on the stain.
Step 2: Use a cleaning solvent
If the stain does not come off after blotting, apply your alcohol-based cleaner and blot with warm water, or use a mixture of vinegar and water in a 1:1 ratio and scrub the stain. Try using a toothbrush to really get into the fibers.
Step 3: Clean with water and dry
If the stain is lifted, use a cloth dampened with cold water to take off the cleaning agent. Blot dry with a clean paper towel.
For cotton/chenille/corduroy
Step 1: Spray hairspray
Spray alcohol-based hairspray on the stained area, and allow it to loosen the ink.
Step 2: Soak in a cleaning solution
Make a cleaning solution of detergent and vinegar diluted in water, and test it on a corner spot. If it doesn’t damage the fabric, soak the stained area in this solution for about half an hour.
Step 3: Rinse and dry
If the stain is removed after soaking, rinse the fabric with cold water and let it air dry.
Step 4: Dab with alcohol
If the stain persists after soaking, dab it with a cloth dampened with alcohol until the stain lifts. Clean with a wet cloth and air dry.
For leather and velvet
The best option for fabrics like leather and velvet is to use a cleaning product especially designed for them and follow the manufacturer's instructions.
