Removing ink stains

Prepare a Soaking Solution

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.
3
Preparing for wash
Gently wring out the excess water before adding it to your wash with similar items.
4
Dose
Add detergent based on the instructions on your pack.
5
Wash
Load your garment into the washing machine with other, similar items and wash on your usual cycle, at the highest temperature shown on the care label.
6
Unload
After the wash cycle is complete, unload the garments immediately.
