Sofa stain removal can be hard with ink stains, especially if you have a light-coloured fabric sofa. Aside from sofa deep cleaning, there are several effective ways to remove ink stains from your sofa. These methods include soap and cold water, rubbing alcohol, white vinegar, and hairspray. 

 

Soap and Cold Water

The first method you can try to remove stains from your sofa is using soap, cold water, and a white cloth. This method is best used for fresh ink stains that still need to be set into the fabric. 

One of the ways to effectively clean the fabric on your sofa, particularly, ink stains is to first blot the ink stain with the white cloth to remove any excess ink. Be sure to use a white cloth to avoid transferring any dye onto your sofa. To remove ink stains, mix a small amount of mild soap with cold water and apply it to the stain. Gently rub the stain with a cloth in a circular motion, then rinse the area with cold water and blot dry with a clean cloth. If the stain persists, repeat the process until the stain is completely removed.

 

Rubbing Alcohol

To effectively clean your sofa from ink stains, you need to have rubbing alcohol which has the ability to break down the ink due to its chemical composition, and a white cloth to blot the stain. Afterwards, you can follow the following steps to remove this stain from the sofa’s fabric. 

First, test the rubbing alcohol on a small, inconspicuous area of your sofa to ensure it doesn’t damage the fabric. If the fabric is safe to use with rubbing alcohol, proceed to wet the white cloth with rubbing alcohol and gently blot the ink stain in a circular motion. Be sure to use a white cloth to avoid transferring any dye onto your sofa. Continue blotting the ink stain until it’s completely removed. Once the stain from the sofa is removed, rinse the area with cold water and blot it dry with a clean cloth.

 

White Vinegar

White vinegar is another natural solvent that can effectively help in cleaning your sofa by removing ink stains. All you’ll need is white vinegar, a white cloth, and a spray bottle.

First, mix equal parts of white vinegar and dishwashing liquid and 2 parts of cool water in a spray bottle. Start by spraying the mixture onto the stain and allowing it to sit for a few minutes. Then, blot the stain using a white cloth in a circular motion. Finally, rinse the area with cold water and blot dry with a clean cloth. If the ink stain persists, repeat the process until the stain is completely removed. 

 

Hairspray

Hairspray is another effective method to remove ink stains or to remove watermarks on the fabric of the sofa. This is because it contains alcohol, which can break down the ink and remove it from the fabric. 

Before attempting to remove an ink stain from your sofa, it’s essential to perform a patch test using hairspray on a concealed part of the fabric. This will help ensure that the hairspray doesn’t cause any damage. If the test area shows no adverse effects, proceed by spraying a small amount of hairspray directly onto the ink stain. 

Allow the hairspray to sit for a few minutes to break down the ink. Next, gently blot the stain using a white cloth, making circular motions to lift the ink from the fabric. Rinse the treated area with cold water and carefully blot it dry using a clean cloth. If the ink stain persists, repeat the process until the stain is completely removed. In case you continue to experience difficulty eliminating the stain, it might be a sign that you need professional sofa cleaning services.
