How to Remove a Name Pen
If It Gets on Clothes or a Mat?

A name pen is a type of stationery that is useful in daily life thanks to its convenience and
excellent durability, and it does not come off easily.
Because a name pen is not easy to remove, people often do not know how to clean it when it unintentionally gets on clothes,
floors, desks, mats, and similar surfaces.
So today, I would like to introduce various ways to remove a name pen that can be easily applied when it gets on clothes or a mat.

A name pen is one of the writing instruments commonly used in everyday life, and compared with other water-based pens,
it has the advantage of being difficult to erase.
In other words, if it gets on clothes, mats, or desks, it may not come off for a long time, which can make it difficult to remove when it is accidentally stained.
If a ballpoint pen or oil-based pen gets on newly bought clothes or a favorite pair of pants, it can happen,
but removing it is not easy.

First, the first method for removing a name pen is to consider using alcohol.
Soak the clothes stained with the name pen in alcohol for at least 5 minutes.
After that, wash them as you normally would, and it is best to use isopropyl alcohol, which is known as rubbing alcohol.
This can be purchased at a pharmacy. Soak a white cloth or cotton pad with an appropriate amount of rubbing alcohol,
then leave it on the stained area for about 2 minutes.

At this time, one thing to be careful about is that you should never rub the stain.
If you do, the stain will spread deeper, making it harder to remove.
Rather than rubbing the stain when removing a name pen, gently dabbing it is helpful,
so please tap it repeatedly.
Glycerin is also useful for removing a name pen. Put a small amount on a cotton swab,
then tap it with moderate pressure around the stained area of the clothing and leave it alone.

You can also remove oil-based marker with baking soda from home.
Apply baking soda to an unused brush and lightly rub it.
In addition to baking soda, sunscreen also contains ingredients that can break down ink,
so apply it to the ink-stained area.
If the stain has set over time, leave the sunscreen on for more than 10 minutes,
gently rub it, and then wash it with water and soap.

If you are trying to remove a mark on a mat, mix neutral detergent and water at a 1:5 ratio,
then soak a cloth in the diluted detergent and lightly rub the area.
If the mark has already been there for a long time, you can mix salt with water and rub it,
but the removal method may differ depending on the material of the mat.
Because it is a pen that is hard to erase, it is best to remove it early using the proper method before the ink soaks in deeply.
