Brilio.net - Clothing is a type of cloth used to protect the body from sharp objects. Apart from that, clothes are also used to support a person's appearance. Many people adjust their type of clothing according to their needs or the event they are going to attend.
Even though clothes function as body protection, they often get dirty and stained easily. Especially when used outdoors. Stains or dirt that usually stick to the surface of clothes are dust stains, food or drink spills, and even ink stains. Stains caused by dust and food are generally easier to remove after washing. Meanwhile, ink stains are usually quite difficult to remove if you just wash them with soap.
The most frequently found ink stains are purple ink stains that stick to clothes. This usually happens after dipping your finger in ink and not draining it again so that the remaining wet ink spills and drips onto your clothes . If it's like this, many people choose not to wear it anymore because even after washing it, it will be difficult to remove.
Even though you don't need to rush to throw it away, because there are still other ways to get rid of it, you know. How to clean purple ink was shared by a netizen via the YouTube channel azhura_diamond. Through one of his uploads, he showed the condition of his shirt which had ink stains.
He intends to wash the shirt with several cleaning agents, one of which is acetone. Apart from these ingredients, the YouTube user also uses two kitchen ingredients to clean shirts from ink stains, namely using dish soap and baking soda.

First of all, line the bottom of the clothing with cotton or foam so that the ink doesn't penetrate and stain the surface of other objects. After that, pour enough acetone onto the cotton, then rub the cotton slowly onto the shirt that is stained with ink.
"The first step, we simply tap the ink stain using cotton. Place a base on the material or you can also use more cotton underneath. Do this until the ink stain fades," he wrote, reported by BrilioFood on Wednesday (14/2).

After cleaning with acetone, you can see that the ink stains have started to fade. Next, the YouTube user poured enough toothpaste and brushed it onto the stained part of the shirt. Then he went back to making a concoction of several cleaning ingredients so that the shirt was as clean as possible.
"Continue to brush with toothpaste and we also use other additional ingredients (dish washing soap, baking soda, color vanish) for maximum results," he continued.

To do this, prepare a container, then pour in enough dishwashing soap, baking soda and Vanish cleaning fluid for colored clothes. Combine the three ingredients, then stir until smooth. Rub the stained part of the shirt with the cleaning agent mixture until it is completely clean.
