- 1). Place a scrap towel under the ink-stained material. If you are working with a pair of pants or clothing with sleeves, put the towel up the leg or down the sleeve to protect the clean side from ink contamination.
- 2). Blot the ink stain with a damp towel to remove as much ink as possible. Press the towel straight down onto the stain, and lift it straight up. Do not wipe or rub the ink stain, or you can spread it.
- 3). Remove the towel, and refold it, hiding the leached ink inside the towel. Reinsert the towel under the stain or inside the garment. Soak a corner of a towel in rubbing alcohol, and dab the alcohol-soaked towel onto the ink stain. Do not rub.
- 4). Change the towel, and repeat until all the pen ink is gone.
- 5). Launder the item alone with soap-free detergent to remove the last traces of pen ink. Wash the towels with soap-free detergent, and then dry. Rewash with soap to set the remaining stains and to prevent the stains from leaching onto other items in future laundry loads.
