How to Remove Pen Stains on a Tie
- 1). Fold a towel and place on a flat surface. Lay a couple of paper towels over the towel. Place the tie on top face down and cover it with a couple more paper towels. Place a heavy weight on top of the stain to absorb any extra ink.
- 2). Dissolve the ink by working an alcohol-based product, such as aftershave, hairspray, rubbing alcohol or even vodka, into the surface of the tie. Dip a cotton swab in the solvent and wipe the ink spot, working from the outer edge to the center. Change the swab every time you see ink on the fibers so you don't end up spreading the ink.
- 3). Rinse off the solvent with a rag dipped in warm water. Tamp the area lightly to remove any residue.
