Ball pen and other types of ink are very tough stains to remove from clothes. Ariel has the solution. Our Automatic Powder has ingredients that are very efficient at breaking down ink stains. Find out how to remove those annoying ink stains in just one wash. Simply follow the instructions below.

A pen is made for writing. Generally, though, that means writing on paper, not on your clothes. Yet sometimes accidents do happen. Whether from a leaked ballpoint pen or some misplaced doodles, clothes covered in ink aren’t always the best look.

An old myth is that hairspray is the perfect tool for ink stain removal. Yet there is another way that doesn’t involve experimenting – and Ariel knows that way. Watch our step by step guide on how to remove ink stains from clothing, or read the instructions below.

Removing ink stains

Step1

Prepare a Soaking Solution

Next, pre-treat the ink stained garment. Fill a sink or bucket with warm water and add half a scoop of Ariel Automatic Powder. Mix the solution by hand until the detergent is completely dissolved.

Step 2

Soak

Add your ink stained garments to the solution and leave to soak for an hour. If the stained garment keeps floating to the top, place a white towel on top of it to keep it fully immersed in the soaking solution.

Step 3

Preparing for wash

Gently wring out the excess water before adding it to your wash with similar items.
