Ink from ballpoints exists of various “ink recipes” making it almost impossible to know the various resins, solvents, and oils consisting in just one. With patience and persistence, most of these inks are removable by experimenting with different sorts of solvents. Others are indelible, and your situation may be hopeless leaving permanent stains. However, the methods below will either lighten or remove these ink stains.

Apply a solvent type cleaner by blotting it onto the ink-stain with a clean, white terrycloth washcloth. This type of cleaner should lift up the stain. By loosening the ink-stain and immediately blotting it up, the stain should not spread.

1. Spray some hair spray on a thickly folded absorbent white cloth or towel, dab the affected area with the cloth, and blot simultaneously with a dry towel.
2. Treat a thickly folded absorbent white cloth or towel with rubbing alcohol, dab the affected area with the cloth, and blot with a dry towel simultaneously.
3. Treat a thickly folded absorbent white cloth or towel with acetone or nail polish remover, dab the affected area with the cloth, and blot with a dry towel simultaneously
4. Treat a thickly folded absorbent white cloth or towel with Spirits of Turpentine, dab the affected area with the cloth, and blot with a dry towel simultaneously
5. If one solvent cleaner does not solve the problem, move down to the next in the order these tips are given. Never apply solvents directly onto the surface.
