Loading washing machines with clothes that have simply been covered in sweat after a particularly hot day, have been worn a few times or have the odd simple stain is a chore and one that is done without even thinking. But everything changes when in the dirty laundry basket is that garment that suffered some rebellious stain, one of those that are so feared. How to remove dirt and grass stains, makeup, blood or mold represents one of the biggest headaches for many adults. And one of the worst, because it is one of the most common, are ballpoint pen ink stains.
Just being on the phone and the pen slipping out of your hand and ending up headfirst against your shirt. Or remove the papers on the desk and that pen that was mixed up leaves a visible mark on the cuff of the shirt. Be that as it may, the result is that that garment must be intervened to end the ink.
The most important thing to keep in mind when removing a ballpoint ink stain is that the sooner it is done, the easier it will be. If it is fresh, it will be easier to kill it than if it has had time to dry.
