Don’t let an ink stain ruin your favourite chair, couch, or upholstered items. In this tutorial, we'll demonstrate how to remove ink from upholstered items.
Note that because the ink in this case is not water-soluble, we use rubbing alcohol to remove it from the material. The video at the bottom of the page shows how to remove ink from a rug; the process is exactly the same when removing ink from upholstery.
Step Two:
Allow it to sit for a few moments to allow the ink to begin activating.
Step Three:
Blot the stain with a paper towel or tissue to remove as much as possible. You should be able to see the ink transfer on your tissue.
NB! Avoid rubbing, which will push the ink deeper into the fabric. The goal is for it to absorb into the tissue.
Step Four:
Repeat the procedure as many times as necessary. It takes time to remove stubborn ink stains.
Step Five:
Blot the area with a cotton ball dipped in water to lift off the remaining residue.
Step Six:
Allow it to dry thoroughly.
