If you have ever tried to wash away stains from a ballpoint pen, you may have seen for yourself that regular washing powder or washing gel cannot cope with such a task.

Instead of wasting your time, seek help from proven methods.

One of them is to use vinegar and lemon juice.

These two components should be mixed in equal quantities, and then the resulting composition should be applied to the stain.

Set the garment aside to allow the cleaning mixture time to work.

The final step is to wash it in a washing machine or by hand – choose the option that suits the product.

By the way, if you don't have any vinegar in the kitchen, you can try using only lemon . You need to cut off a slice of sour citrus and rub the ballpoint pen stain with it.

Please note that this method is not suitable for all fabrics, so before using it, we recommend testing the effect of the acid on an inconspicuous area.
