Wait, hairspray for ink stains? I've heard that one before, but honestly, never had much luck with it myself. Maybe I'm just buying the wrong stuff? Last time I tried hairspray was back when my grandkid got artistic on my dining room tablecloth. I sprayed half the can and ended up with a sticky mess AND a stubborn ink stain. Double trouble.
Ever tried hand sanitizer instead? It's got plenty of alcohol, and it's usually right there in your purse or pocket anyway. Worked wonders for me after a pen leaked in my shirt pocket at the dentist's office (don't ask how THAT happened). Maybe give that a go next time your toddler decides to redecorate?
Hand sanitizer's a neat trick—wish I'd known that sooner. Last time I battled ink stains was after my niece doodled all over my couch cushions. Ended up flipping them over and calling it a day...sometimes practicality beats perfection, right?
Does hand sanitizer really work on ink stains, though? Last time I tried something similar, it just spread the stain around and made it worse. Ended up with a bigger mess than I started with. Maybe it depends on the fabric or something? Honestly, flipping cushions sounds like my kind of solution...less chance of ruining things completely. Has anyone else had luck with sanitizer, or am I just doing it wrong?
I've never had luck with sanitizer either, honestly... always ended up spreading the stain around more. Maybe fabric type matters? Has anyone tried hairspray instead—heard that works better for ink stains sometimes.
Same here, sanitizer just makes the ink bleed out more for me too. I think fabric definitely plays a role—cotton seems to soak it up worse than synthetic blends. I've actually had decent luck with hairspray, especially the cheaper brands (weirdly enough). My grandma swore by it, and honestly, it saved my favorite scrubs once or twice. Just spray lightly, blot gently, and repeat as needed... patience is key though, sadly.
