Remove Ink From Clothes and Fabrics

remove ink from clothes

As rubber stamp enthusiasts, we’re in the business of making a mess with ink. Whether you have full-time hobbies that deal with ink or you’re doing a one-time craft project, it’s never fun to get ink on your clothes! Don’t freak out, though! Your favorite clothes aren’t ruined forever. The ink experts at Rubber Stamp Station are here with a few easy solutions on how to remove ink from clothes.

How to Remove Ink From Clothes and Fabrics

When it comes to removing ink from fabric and clothes, there are a few methods you can try. It really depends on the type of fabric and the materials you want to use for removal:

  • Because most households have white vinegar handy already, the most convenient option is a combination of white vinegar and warm water! You can mix 1 tablespoon of white vinegar with a quart of warm water for a cleaning solution. Then soak the fabric in this solution for an hour before rinsing with warm water and air-drying. If you need to, repeat again, just make sure to rinse thoroughly and dry between soaks. Note: The only issue is that this isn’t a great option if the fabric you’ve inked is cotton or linen.
  • Another option you might consider requires dishwashing detergent and ammonia, but unlike option 1, it’s safe for cotton and linen! For this option, mix 1 quart of warm water, ½ teaspoon of dishwashing detergent, and 1 tablespoon of ammonia into a solution. Then, soak the fabric in the solution for 30 minutes. Rinse completely with warm water before air-drying. Good as new!
  • The last option requires rubbing alcohol. Mix rubbing alcohol with warm water in a 1:1 ratio. After you’ve diluted the rubbing alcohol with warm water, use cotton balls or paper towels to gently dab at the stain. It’s essential to dab and not rub, or you’ll spread the stain across the fabric. You should be able to blot the stain away once it’s loosened. Note: You may need to repeat the blotting process several times as it’s a more delicate option than soaking the entirety of the fabric. Afterward, rinse with warm water and let it dry. 

No Mess No Stress with Rubber Stamp Station

If you’ve been getting ink on your clothes pretty regularly, you might be tempted to stop using ink in your projects, but hopefully these solutions from Rubber Stamp Station were helpful in removing any stains. Next time, try self-inking stamps like the 4642 Printy Self-Inking Stamp from Trodat! They’re portable, easy-to-use, and the best part, mess-free!

What is Embossing and What Should I Emboss?

what is embossing

If you’re just getting into crafting, scrapbooking, or stationary, then you’ve probably heard of embossing. You may have even seen it in action. But what is embossing actually, and how do you do it? Embossing is the process of pressing into a surface in order to create a new dimension. If that definition has you going “huh?”, then don’t worry! It’s not as complicated as it sounds. Typically, embossing is done on paper (although it can be done on other surfaces as well!), so a logo or design will get pressed into the paper with an embosser. The result is a new raised layer in the form of your design. When you touch the design, you’ll be able to feel its texture and patterns. You’ve probably seen this done on fancy invitations, envelopes, or cardstock. If you’re interested in trying this fun technique, you may be looking for good ideas on what to emboss. That’s why Rubber Stamp Station has everything you need to know about embossing for beginners.

So… What Should I Emboss?

Now that you know what embossing is, you’re probably wondering “what should I emboss?” Well, embossing can be done on almost any flat and malleable surface, such as paper, clothing, glass, wood, and more. If you’re just beginning, it’s best to start on a sturdy piece of paper until you get the hang of it. If you’re looking for ideas on what to emboss, then try these:

  • Invitations: Any kind will do. Wedding invitations, party invitations, baby shower invitations – you name it! Embossing looks amazing and sophisticated on thick parchment, envelopes, and paper.
  • Business cards: For business-minded people, this is a great way to add a professional touch to your business cards. They can make anything look extra fancy and add a layer of individuality that lets your clients know you mean business.
  • Scrapbooks and personal crafts: Well of course, don’t forget your personal projects! They’ll be that much more unique with a customized embossment.
  • Your stuff: Embossing your name, a company or band logo, or sports team into your clothing, wallets, books, and belongings ensures that it’s yours! It’s permanent, personal, and it looks awesome.

Create Customizable Embossers at Rubber Stamp Station

If you’re still wondering “what is embossing” then it’s best to just give it a try in person! Embossing for beginners is fun, fancy, and easy, and you’ll get the hang of it right away!

  1. Purchase your ink replacement pad! Make sure it’s the pad that is made for your stamp. All of the replacement stamps can be found on our website.
  2. Place your stamp on a sheet of scrap paper with the Trodat logo facing away from you and locate the thin rectangular insert that indicates the ink pad that is currently in there.
  3. Push down on the top of the stamp while pressing the small buttons on the side of the top of the stamp.
  4. Rotate the stamp so the Trodat logo is now facing away from you and press the button below the logo. You should see the ink pad pop out slightly! Pull out the ink pad fully.
  5. Unwrap your new ink pad and insert it into the slot. Make sure the ink side is facing up!
  6. Press down on the top again to click the pad into place. Do a few test prints on some scrap paper to make sure you inserted it correctly. 
  7. Please recycle your old ink pad! All of Trodat’s ink is non-toxic!
