how to get pen ink out of bottom of a bag?

Question

I have a timbuk2 cargo tote bag ( http://www.timbuk2.com/tb2/retail/catalog.htm?categoryId=33 ) and i accidentally left one of my blue ballpoint ink pens uncapped and it totally scribbled all over the bottom of the bag. The bottom of the bag's material is "waterproof liner". It's not clothlike.

The company suggests throwing the bag into a washer/dryer to clean it but the stains didn't come out.

Please help me with ideas! The bag was very expensive. How can i get those marks of of the inside of the bag?

Answer 2

Use Exit soap it is amazingly effective in removing ink stains, It has saved my hide before. I made a mess of my best friends car seat with a leaking pen and Exit was the only thing that worked I paid abut $3 for it and the car seat was going to cost me over $200 to replace. I know it says to use it as soon as possible but it removed my ink stain about 14 days after the incident.

You did no longer state what the liner is made out of, yet i'm going to anticipate that that's fabrics. I even have effectively got rid of ink stains (yet no longer felt pen) from fabrics with the aid of putting an absorbent textile under the outfits merchandise and pouring a small quantity of rubbing alcohol on the ink and blotting it with yet another absorbent textile. substitute the textile as mandatory and upload greater rubbing alcohol. do no longer RUB! Blotting retains it from staining greater. Be very careful to no longer enable the rubbing alcohol run onto the leather-based. If the liner is fabrics and you may pull it faraway from the main significant area of the bag, you may hand wash the liner. If the stain persists, enable the textile dry and repeat the rubbing alcohol approach. it is going to come out finally. My parents owned a dry cleansing business enterprise and this became into the tactic that they used. It purely take purely a sprint persistence and perseverance.

Hmmm, never heard of using hairspray..Not sure about ball point pen ink. On real liquid ink and/or India(permanent) ink the thing that will cut it is household ammonia. If you were dealing with liquid ink I would suggest soaking it with ammonia, wash, re-wash using a otc stain remover. Wish you luck. Next time put the top (cap) on the pen..

Answer 6

I think you should try Alcohol, you put 1part Alcohol to 2 parts water, That usually gets all stains out. If it doesn't work then go to the store and get Dry cleaning Solvent, And that should do it.

Answer 7

As a nurse's aide, I learned that for some reason shaving cream cleaned many surfaces. I don't know why it does, it just worked very well when I needed to clean a surface. This was taught to me by another nurse's aide.

Answer 8

use shout or tide to go...or anyother stain remover. spray/put directly on the stain and let it soak in...repaeat 3 or 4 times let soak in for a while than blot!...since pen is hard to get out...than put on one last time and wash it!...sprasy and wash is another damn good pruduct to use!
hope it helped...by the way i really like the bag!!!!!!!!

Answer 9

hairspray gets rid of pen ink.

put a towel down on the floor before you get it off, because the ink will stain anything it's on

ex:

i was talking out ink on my friends pants on their bathroom counter, finished and picked the pants up and well.... there was blue EVERYWHERE on the counter (sunk into the top, it was bad), and no...

hairspray didn't get that off.

Answer 10

Take some cheap...it has to be cheap...hair spray and spray the ink with it..then toss it back in the washer.I used this trick on my girls Sunday dresses and it worked every time.
