1. Before laundering, rinse the stain from fabric with hot water until no more color can be removed.
2. Machine wash in hot water with laundry detergent for about 12 minutes (heavy soil cycle). Do not use prewash or chlorine bleach. Do not put the garment in the dryer.
3. Soak in a solution of Oxi Clean or Clorox 2® according to the instructions on the container for one hour. Let the garment air dry.
4. Repeat laundering should remove any residual stains. Do not heat-dry between washings.
Ink that has soaked through multiple layers of fabric (like quilts or comforters), or left on the fabric for longer periods before washing, may require additional cleaning and supplies.
Optional cleaning materials you may need:
• Amodex® Spot Remover
• Amodex® Stain Swipe Wipes
We suggest:
1. First, test Amodex Spot Remover on an inside seam or hidden area.
2. Apply Amodex Spot Remover to the stain and allow it to sit for about 10 minutes.
3. Gently scrub the area using the Amodex Stain Swipe Wipe or a soft brush.
4. Rinse with water, and repeat as needed to remove as much ink as possible.
5. Lastly, machine wash according to the instructions above or hand wash the fabric using laundry detergent.
Please Note:
Stain removal suggestions are provided as a service to consumers. While our methods have been successful in testing, we are unable to guarantee results. Before attempting the removal method, test each procedure on an inconspicuous area of the material or surface to be cleaned. In some cases, it may be best to consult a professional cleaner for recommendations.
When specific brands are recommended it is because they were most effective removing stains; however, competitive brands may work equally as well.
These stain removal methods are intended for adult-use only. Check individual containers for recommended use and warnings.
