Ways to solve the problem

This problem is often encountered in families with children and teenagers. That’s why many parents are interested in how to remove pen paste from clothes.

The cleaning method must be chosen based on the type of fabric on which the stains appeared. If we talk about standard school uniforms, they are often made of jeans, cotton, etc. These materials have different structures, so different approaches must be used to solve the problem.

To remove traces of a gel or ballpoint pen, you can use a large number of products that can even be found in any kitchen:

• ammonia;
• alcohol;
• lemon juice;
• salt;
• acetone;
• turpentine and other substances.

In some cases, combinations of these remedies help.

Cotton and linen products

Often ink remains on linen or cotton items. Even an experienced housewife will not immediately figure out how to wash a handle from white clothes without spoiling the material and leaving streaks. You need to work with such surfaces as responsibly and carefully as possible. It is advisable to perform all actions using a cotton swab or disk. It must be treated with a solution of 200 ml of warm water and 4 ml of ammonia. The ingredients are thoroughly mixed and infused for five to ten minutes.

This solution removes the ink paste efficiently and quickly, so you don’t need to press hard on the swab, otherwise the dirt will be absorbed even deeper into the fabric. After treatment, the item must be washed thoroughly to remove the pungent odor of ammonia.

If a colored item gets dirty, many housewives know how to remove the paste from the handle from it. To do this, you can use a solution of ammonia and turpentine (2 ml of each substance). This product helps remove ink without damaging the fabric. The composition turns out to be a paste-like consistency; it must be applied to the area of ​​contamination for three to five minutes. Then the clothes must be washed thoroughly.

For cotton and linen fibers, a combination of alcohol and acetone is also suitable. They need to be taken in equal proportions and in small quantities. The mixed substances are slightly heated in a water bath. Next, they are applied to the damaged area of ​​​​the fabric and wiped with a swab. White clothes often leave unsightly stains, which can be removed by applying ammonia.

For cotton and linen clothes, regular whey is often used, which you need to pour into the item and wait for thirty to forty minutes. After this, the material must be washed with powder.

Fresh lemon juice will work for almost any linen or cotton wardrobe item, with the exception of white items. You can remove ballpoint pen paste very easily with this substance. In this case, lemon juice does not even need to be mixed with water.

Other types of materials

To clean, for example, a velvet blouse, you can use ordinary milk. In this case, it is important to observe certain conditions: it needs to be warmed up a little, and the contamination should not be old. You just need to pour milk on the item and wait half an hour, then it is washed using special compounds that are designed for velvet.

Items made from wool and silk deserve special attention, because they are distinguished by a high degree of delicacy. Experts recommend using a paste mixture of baking soda water. This method is extremely gentle and effective. It allows you to wipe the paste off the fabric in just five minutes. Upon completion of the procedure, ink residues should be removed with a cotton pad, and the fabric should be washed in soapy water.

Woolen and silk products are not afraid of gasoline. It can be mixed with water, kerosene and soap. The mixture is applied to the pen stain and wiped with a cotton swab. If stains form on the surface of the material, they can be removed with a 2% solution of hydrochloric acid.

Mustard powder is another effective remedy to solve the problem. It needs to be diluted in slightly warm water to obtain a paste-like consistency, which needs to be used to treat the problem area. The fabric should be left for two to three hours so that the paste can be thoroughly absorbed into the fabric fibers. Then the clothes should be washed in cold water.

Jeans clothes can be easily cleaned from ink paste with an alcohol solution. The substance must be thoroughly rubbed into the contaminated fabric, then rinsed with warm water. You can also use table salt, moisten it with water and treat the stain.

Cleaning natural and artificial leather

Often traces of ink remain on leather items (jacket, trousers, etc.) and objects. Gel and ballpoint pens clean well from skin:

• hairspray for fixing and styling hair;
• glycerin with ammonia;
• alcohol;
• cream and other means.

When using salt, you need to sprinkle the crystals on the contaminated area and wait two to three days. After this, the powder is removed and the surface of the item is cleaned with turpentine. Then the clothes are washed in an automatic washing machine.

You can remove the paste from leather products using ordinary stationery tape. To do this, tape with a sticky surface must be pasted onto the contaminated area and pressed firmly. After two or three minutes, the tape needs to be peeled off and the dirt wiped off with an eraser.

A cream with a greasy consistency has a good effect in solving this problem. In this case, it does not matter at all what kind of composition will be used (for legs, arms, face, etc.). It is very simple to use - you just need to apply the mixture to the problem area of ​​the skin and leave it for three to six minutes. This “mask” is removed using cotton wool or soft cloth. After cleaning, the treated area should be rinsed with slightly warmed water and ordinary or liquid soap.

You can clean something made from light leather using a solution of glycerin and ammonia. The components are mixed together in equal proportions. If traces remain after this, the contaminated area can be carefully cleaned with an eraser.

How to clean a felt-tip pen from a doll's face

Does your daughter love to draw on dolls' faces with felt-tip pens? Or your younger sister decided to paint on the eyelashes of your childhood doll with a ballpoint pen, because “it’s more beautiful this way.” Or did you yourself once long ago decide to change the color of your ward’s eyes from blue to bright green using a marker? Or maybe you have already bought a doll with traces of the former owner’s play and are trying to “save” it?

I once bought this poor thing on Avito in a deplorable state and decided to save her at all costs.

Dont be upset! There are several ways to remove stains from a doll's face.

Acetone or nail polish remover

This is the first method that immediately comes to mind. Of course, it won’t work if you want to preserve the doll’s factory makeup. But in most cases, it will cope well with fresh traces of a ballpoint pen and other stains of unknown origin.

By the way, only recently, through trial and error, I found the ideal liquid for removing makeup from a doll’s face. This product quickly removes paint and does not smear makeup residue on the doll’s face. The liquid is sold at Magnit Cosmetics and costs about 100 rubles.

Liquid for removing make-up from a doll's face, which I use

Melamine sponge

Suitable for superficial and relatively fresh stains - just rub with a sponge. Often this method helps to cope with the problem. Melamine sponge can be used for all dolls and especially if you want to preserve the factory make-up. Works on both rubber and plastic.

Vinegar and whiteness

I know many masters who prefer to use this method. The recipe is extremely simple - you need to mix vinegar and whiteness in a 1:1 ratio and lower the doll's head, cleaned of the factory make-up, into it. The time depends on the complexity of the contamination and averages 1-2 hours.

Or, if the contamination is small, make compresses - soak a piece of cotton pad in this explosive mixture and apply to the affected area.

A huge advantage of this method is the time savings. The result can be obtained within an hour after your manipulations.

The smell of vinegar and bleach is, to put it mildly, unbearable. Therefore, it is better to conduct these experiments outside or at least on a ventilated balcony in a container with a tight-fitting lid.

For dolls with a bright skin tone, for example, Abby, Honey, Jane, Gigi, this breeding method is absolutely not suitable! There is a high chance that you will ruin the doll.

Don't repeat the mistakes!

The first time I tried to dip my dolls in vinegar and bleach was less than six months after the start of my...ahem...ahem...OOAker career. Then I ruined absolutely all the dolls. And those whose heads she completely dipped and those for whom she made compresses.

What was my main mistake? In ignorance. In ignorance of the fact that if Twyla’s bright lilac head is dipped into this explosive mixture it will turn gray, or that it will take about an hour to remove the stain from Operetta’s forehead, and not the three that she lay on the balcony, or that the white head of the Skeleton HIMSELF is under the influence of whiteness and vinegar may turn yellow.

Therefore, I do not recommend using this method for beginners. Even I, almost three years later, avoid it.

Sad experience of using bleach and vinegar on “bright” Twile

By the way, I was able to save two of the four damaged dolls that evening and give them a second life. And what I got out of this can be seen in the articles:

I blinded you from what was

The Taming of the Shrew. OOAK for Halloween

Baziron AS

Baziron AS is an anti-acne cream that is sold in any pharmacy, its cost is a little steep - about 1000-1200 rubles. But what won’t you do to save your favorite doll?

I bought my tube secondhand on Avito for 300 rubles. Yes, yes, buying a half-used tube of ointment secondhand is more expensive. But I didn’t buy it for my face.

Baziron is my favorite method for removing stains. What is the trick of the method? You apply the cream onto the doll's cleaned face, place it in the sun, and after several days (and possibly weeks) you get cleaned head rubber. The only negative is that you have to wait a long time and the waiting time largely depends on sunny days.

I know that some craftsmen, due to the lack of sun, place the doll’s head under a table lamp. But no matter how much I tried, I didn’t notice any significant changes, so I prefer the Sun to the table lamp.

They also say that Baziron can clean a doll’s face even while preserving the make-up. I haven’t tried it with factory make-up, since when doing OOAK I mostly erase it, but one day I accidentally put a line on the cheek with a ballpoint pen on the redrawn face. By the way, she had freckles, which I really wanted to preserve and not spoil. Therefore, I applied Baziron to the mark of the pen, left it on the windowsill for several days and washed it off with water. The trace of the pen was gone.

How to clean a brush from PVA glue

To make your task easier, you can mix a solution at home from readily available ingredients. Pour four drops of ordinary vegetable oil and one drop of water into a small vessel, such as a bottle cap. Dip the brush into the solution for a few minutes and watch the process until it becomes soft again.

Information. The fat from the vegetable oil plays a major role here, but without a little water, the brush will become completely saturated with oil and become greasy. If this happens, you can remove the fats only by using a weak solvent with a low percentage of alcohol - for example, an ordinary detergent.

By the way, the doll’s hair from greasy glue can be washed in the same way, because the hairs on the brush and on the rubber head have a similar structure and characteristics.

In this case, you will need a larger volume of solution, the proportions of which should be approximately four to one, where the majority is occupied by vegetable oil.

So, you can completely immerse the doll's head in the mixture for a few minutes. After the procedure, it is advisable to wipe it with medical alcohol or household solvents in order to quickly remove any remaining elements of fat on the surface of the rubber and hair.

Simply apply butter or coconut oil to the skin and leave for 3-4 minutes. After the oil has absorbed traces of the dye, wash it off with soap and water.

Sunscreen or face and hand creams with a fatty composition, which most night products have, are also suitable.

Baby massage oil can also come to the rescue.
