    How To Remove Gel Ink Stains

    How Do You Remove Gel Ink From Clothes?

    Gel ink stains are tough. Simply put, they can be small, but mighty, and take hours to remove. If you fall victim to getting gel ink on your clothing try these steps to attempt removal.

    Steps:

    1. Do not wash it before attempting stain removal.
    2. Purchase a store bought product that specifically targets Ink Removal. I would recommend Carbona Stain Devils Ink Remover which should be available at your local grocery store.
    3. Apply the ink treatment and wait 15-30 minutes to let it penetrate the stain.
    4. Use a white towel or paper towel to blot the stain. This allows you to see how effective your stain removal is.
    5. Blot Blot Blot (Do not rub the stain as it increases the risk of the ink spreading or pulling the color from your fabric). This process can take a long time. You will need to continue adding your ink treatment as you blot to help pull the ink out.
    6. When adding ink treatment no longer yields results you have successfully removed the ink (oil) portion of this stain, but you may still have the color component stuck in the fabric.
    7. Use some home laundry treatment spray (Shout, etc.) to your garment and throw it in the wash.
    8. Before drying check to see if the stain is successfully removed. If it is not, try repeating the steps again to increase your odds of removing it.

    To show you an example of how this process can unfold we’ve included two pictures for reference. These pictures show the three original dots of gel ink and their size relative to a dime. The white towel shows you how much gel ink can come from those little spots! We used both sides of this towel to work this small stain!

      We have updated our pick-up and delivery software to better connect customers with their orders, scheduling, and billing. We are alerting you of these new changes that will require your attention.

      Effective Monday, May 23rd, our old mobile app, and pre-existing website logins will be discontinued and no longer connect to our system.  We urgently need you to take the following action to prevent the interruption of service and the ability to place future orders:

      1. Use this link to download the new app (Apple Users): Ian’s Cleaners TX App
          Use this link to download the new app (Android Users): Ian’s Cleaners TX App

      (The name of the app is Ian’s Cleaners TX in the App Store and Google Play)

      2. Use your phone number or email to sign in to the new app. Password reset may be needed if using email as we imported our data from the old system and you likely already are a registered user only needing a password reset.

      3. Add your credit card information to avoid interruption of pick-up and delivery services. This will be a one-time step. This can be found be clicking “Profile” and then “Edit”.

      4. If you were on a recurring pickup schedule before this change you will remain on one. If for any reason you do not receive a pickup on your standard day please call us at 512-452-0928 so we can properly schedule you.

      5. Our text line has changed. Please save 512-643-9088 to your contacts as Ian’s Text Only Line. You will receive notifications from this number such as reminders the evening before your delivery.

      6. Our “skip” messages will look different than before and respond to “N” or “No”. The new system does not comprehend the word skip, so please make sure to use “N” or “No” when opting for us to not come by.

      7. Please select Pickup & Delivery and not In-Store Feature if you see it. Ian’s does not have a physical location to pick up and drop off at.

      8. If you have any questions or need help please call 512-452-0928 or email us.

      Thank you for supporting small, local business.
