What can be used to clean printer ink stains on clothes and hands.?

printer ink is soluble in waterWhat can be used to clean printer ink stains on clothes and hands.?
For Hands: Diluted bleach usually removes ink immediately, however if you are worried about this harming or you want an alternative, you could try the following; face toner, nail polish remover, rubbing alcohol, bathroom cleaner, surface cleaner... Also, when you dilute the bleach you should use warm water as this will help remove ink stains faster than cold.





For the clothes: Try rubbing alcohol, put a clean white towel underneath the clothing and test a hidden spot first to make sure no unwanted results occur. Then blot the clothing with the rubbing alcohol and the ink should be transferred onto the white towel leaving it discoloured and wet. Move clothing to a clean spot of the towel each time it becomes soaked with ink, then rinse clothing completely of rubbing alcohol.


If the above fails you can use nail polish remove but use the same method of removal.


Acetone can be used as a last resort but isn't reccomended unless completely necessary as it does not work well with some fabrics especially acetate and rayon fabrics.


Next, you can mix baking soda and warm water and rub the clothes with this until the stain is removed and rinse with warm water.


You can use a stain stick, gel or spray on the ink stain and follow the directions on the product packaging.


If after these steps the ink stain remains the baking soda step can be repeated as necessary.


Sometimes ink stains cannot be removed from clothing at all, but if the clothing is white and the fabric is suitable it could be bleached out as a last resort.
