• a piece of gauze, calico, or other clean cloth that absorbs liquid well;

There are effective ways to clean your hands of ink, even if several hours have passed and the paste managed to penetrate deep into the skin. Remove ink traces immediately.

Hand and skin remover

1. Soap. If the stains are fresh, then wash your hands under the power of ordinary soap and warm water. But if the skin is very dirty, then the ink will not leave immediately.

How to remove a pen from various objects and surfaces

How to clean paper

Immediately it is worth noting that along with the paste, the cells and lines in the notebooks will disappear, so it is unlikely that it will be possible to correct what is written without a trace. You will need chlorine bleach, potassium permanganate, 70% acetic acid and hydrogen peroxide. By such means you can even try to remove ink blots and inscriptions with red paste.

To remove stains with chlorine-based products, you need cotton swabs.

1. Pour a little White into the bottle cap.

3. Wipe off any unnecessary labels until they disappear.

A recipe using potassium permanganate, acetic acid and hydrogen peroxide is also effective, but more costly and time consuming. You will need:

• 1 tbsp. l acetic acid;
• a bottle of hydrogen peroxide;
• ear sticks.

What to do:

1. Mix potassium permanganate with acetic acid.
2. Dip a cotton swab into the resulting solution.
3. Put the solution on the inscription and leave for 10 minutes.
4. Dip a clean cotton swab into the peroxide.

How to remove traces of ballpoint and gel pens from clothing and fabric

It is very difficult to remove ink stains from the fabric, since the paste quickly penetrates the fibers, and when trying to remove the stain, it spreads, leaving stains. Do not soak the product in hot water: this makes ink penetrate the fabric fibers even more.

When treating the stain, place a piece of gauze folded in several layers under it. So ink will not go onto a clean cloth or other surface.
