HELPFUL TIPS
If traces of ink remain, bleaching may be necessary. A reducing bleach like Ready Strip or Streepene may be the answer.
- Make sure the stained area is free of any other chemicals by flushing the area thoroughly with cool water.
- Apply READY-STRIP to the stained area and let stand until unwanted dye disappears.
- If any dye remains after 1-2 minutes, heat the stained area with steam using a fogging procedure.
- When dye is removed, flush thoroughly with cool water.
- Launder, dryclean, wetclean or feather as necessary.
