Permanent marker ink can be cleaned off to a certain extent, but the specific effect will be affected by a variety of factors, such as the age of the ink, the cleaning method used, and the material of the contaminated object. Here are some effective cleaning methods:
Alcohol: Alcohol has a certain dissolving effect on the ink stains of oil-based markers, so alcohol can be used to clean them. However, it is important to note that alcohol may cause damage to the surface of some materials, so a small scale test should be carried out in an inconspicuous place before use. At the same time, ensure good ventilation when using alcohol cleaning to avoid causing fire.
Bleach: For marker ink stains on dark clothing, try using bleach to clean them. However, bleach is strongly oxidizing and may cause fading or damage to clothing, so you should read the product instructions carefully before use and dilute it in the correct proportion.
Professional cleaners: There are some professional cleaners on the market that are specifically used to remove marker ink, and these cleaners usually have better cleaning effects and safety. When choosing a cleaner, the choice should be made according to the material of the contaminated object and the nature of the ink.
Other methods: In addition to the above methods, you can also try to use nail polish removal solution, acetone and other chemical reagents for cleaning. However, it should be noted that these reagents may cause damage to some materials, so they should be carefully selected before use and tested in a small area in an inconspicuous place.
For different materials of the object, the cleaning method will be different. For example, for ink stains on clothing, you can first soak the clothing in warm water, and then add an appropriate amount of laundry detergent to scrub; For ink stains on hard surfaces such as walls or desktops, you can use a damp cloth or sponge dipped in an appropriate amount of cleaning agent to wipe.
