Product Information

Carefully inspect your clothing for any lingering color. If you don’t find any, go ahead and put the garment in the dryer! Fill a small cup or bowl with lemon juice. Fresh juice works best, but you can use the bottled kind, too! Baking Soda and Vinegar Vinegar and either cornstarch or baking soda also offer an easy way to remove ink stains. This process might take a little longer, as you sometimes need to allow the vinegar/baking soda application to sit overnight. That said, it’s cost-effective and easy!

Ink Remover An obvious way to remove ink is to use an official ink remover! Popular products like Amodex have soap-like qualities that allow them to dissolve ink stains without damaging the fabric. Many highlighter pens do contain water-soluble ink, meaning that immediately rinsing the stained area of your garment in water could remove a lot of the color. That said, Sharpie highlighters do not contain water-soluble ink, so keep that in mind! The best way to get highlighter stains out of clothes is to treat the fresh stain with rubbing alcohol, hand sanitizer, or certain ink removers. Rubbing in laundry detergent or dry-cleaning solution can also remove the stain. In some instances, salt water or vinegar and a baking solution will also work. You should never put clothing stained by a highlighter in the dryer until you entirely remove the stain. The heat could make it very difficult to get rid of the fluorescent color later on! Next, blot the stain from both sides with clean paper towels. You should see lots of ink on the white paper towels!

How Do You Remove Old Highlighter Stains?

Textsurfer classic "COLORS" - bubble display to self-refill with 100 highlighters in pastel & vintage colours included In addition to classic highlighter pens, STAEDTLER also offers gel highlighters. These highlighters have a twist lead, so there is no sharpening necessary. They are available in yellow, pink, orange and green. These highlighters have a gel-like wax lead, enabling approximately 3 mm wide highlighting. The wax lead provides a soft writing experience, and one of its main advantages is that it does not bleed through paper. You can apply many of the products described in this article to get highlighter stains out of your fabric couch, carpet, and mattress, but you often need a slightly different process. This is because you can’t put your couch into the washing machine or run it under the kitchen tap! Dry cleaning solvent typically contains a chemical called tetrachloroethylene, also known as perchloroethylene, or “perc.” This solvent is both flammable and highly toxic, so handle with care! You may have to repeat the cotton ball or alcohol pouring process several times to ensure the complete removal of the neon ink.

Instead, dampen a clean rag or paper towel with the alcohol and gently blot the stain. Repeat this process until you don’t see any ink. Please note that you cannot put a garment containing dry-cleaning solvent into the washer or dryer! The heat could cause the flammable chemical to ignite. If you try this method, you need to handwash the clothing afterward. Laundry Detergent Laundry detergent can also remove some highlighter stains, especially ones with water-soluble ink. Stuff the stained portion of the garment into the cup so that the stain can soak in the lemon juice. Let it freeze solid overnight, then thaw it out and put it in the washing machine. How to Get Highlighter Out of Your Fabric Couch, Carpet, and MattressNext time you spot a highlighter stain in your clothes, try one of these easy methods for stain removal! Basic household products often have amazing results as cleaning products. If possible, hold the wet spot under running water for a minute to remove any lingering ink particles. If you can’t (you don’t want a giant wet spot on your shirt before a work event, either!), simply dry the area as much as possible by pressing it between two clean tissues or paper towels. You can try any of the methods described in this article to remove an old highlighter stain, though rubbing alcohol will probably work most successfully. Next, blot the cloth with the solvent onto the ink. You should see the ink transfer to the cleaning cloth.

Applying rubbing alcohol, vinegar, hand sanitizer, hair spray, or laundry detergent can easily remove the stain. Natural products such as lemon juice or salt water can also prove effective. Finally, you can go with commercial products like an ink remover or dry cleaning solvent. That said, please note that some types of fabric will react differently when exposed to certain products. For example, you should not use any product containing alcohol on wool, silk, acetone, or rayon. This article needs additional citations for verification.

Take the wet garment from the washing machine and inspect it carefully to make sure you got all of the ink out. If so, go ahead and put it in the dyer! The STAEDTLER triplus textsurfer has an ergonomic triangular barrel, so the highlighter sits comfortably in the hand. This particular highlighter can create variable line widths. Depending on whether you hold this highlighter vertically or at an angle to the paper, you can produce a line width ranging from 1 to 4 mm. Thanks to the pleasantly soft, variable tip, the triplus textsurfer is ideal for highlighting fine print and can also be used for broad highlighting.

Conclusion

The STAEDTLER Textsurfer classic marker has a large ink reservoir, delivering extra-long highlighting performance. If the marker runs out, you can refill it with suitable refill ink. To do this, simply insert the marker tip into the highlighter refill station. The highlighter will be completely refilled and ready to write again in three to four hours. For a small stain, soak a cotton ball with the alcohol. Dab gently at the spot. You want to avoid scrubbing at the ink, as this could easily smear it into undamaged parts of your clothing! All that aside, hand sanitizer can save the day if you notice highlighter ink on your white blouse right before an important meeting at work!
