How to Remove Pen Ink From Vinyl

Butter

• 1

  Spread a thin layer of butter directly onto the light colored vinyl. Make sure to cover the pen ink stain completely with butter.

• 2

  Place the vinyl item in a sunny location for at least a few hours.

• 3

  Wipe the vinyl clean with a soft, damp cloth. Examine the area where the pen ink stain was. If the ink is still there, repeat the process.

Hairspray

• 4

  Apply hairspray to the pen ink mark. Allow the hairspray to sit on the vinyl for several minutes but not long enough so that it dries.

• 5

  Rub the area gently with a paper towel. Wipe the vinyl clean with a damp cloth. Check the progress of the stain. If the pen ink is still present, continue to Step 3.

• 6

  Apply more hairspray to the pen ink mark. Add a drop of liquid dish soap. Rub the dish soap and hairspray into the vinyl with your finger. Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
