But don't worry, this article will take you step by step to understand the "nature" of highlighters, and share various practical and simple methods to help you save your clothes!
Chapter 1: What exactly is a highlighter?
The composition of highlighters: Most highlighters contain fluorescent dyes, such as fluorescent yellow, fluorescent green, etc., which are usually water-soluble. They are not as stubborn as paint, but not easy to clean.What is the difficulty?
The highlighter dye is small and bright in color, and even a small amount of residue is very conspicuous. If not handled in time, it will penetrate the clothing fibers, making it more difficult to clean.
Chapter 2: 3 preparation steps before taking action
1. Don't rinse with water first! Water may spread the color more and form a "disaster scene".2. Check the clothing label. Some clothes cannot be washed with alcohol or at high temperatures. Check the fabric instructions first.
3. Try the detergent on the inside of the clothes or in an inconspicuous place to ensure it will not fade or damage the fabric.
Chapter 3: 5 Practical Stain Removal Methods
1. Alcohol + cotton swab (most recommended) is suitable for most cotton and blended clothes. Dip a cotton swab in medical alcohol (concentration above 70%); gently wipe the stain, slowly clean from the edge to the center; rinse with clean water, and then wash normally.Advantages: cheap and effective;
Note: Avoid large-area friction to prevent diffusion.
2. Makeup remover/facial cleanser: Many makeup removers can dissolve dyes, and the principle is similar to alcohol. Pour makeup remover on the stain and let it stand for 2-3 minutes; press and absorb with a clean towel, do not rub back and forth; rinse with clean water, and then hand wash or machine wash.
3. White vinegar + baking soda are suitable for polyester: pour white vinegar on the highlighter stain; sprinkle a little baking soda and let it stand for 5 minutes; gently scrub with an old toothbrush; then wash normally.
Advantages: natural, environmentally friendly; suitable for families with sensitive skin;
4. Professional stain removal pen, suitable for wool: Many supermarkets and stationery stores now sell portable "stain removal pens" designed for ink, oil stains, etc.
Advantages: easy to carry, suitable for emergency use
Disadvantages: slightly more expensive, not necessarily effective for highlighters
5. Toothpaste + laundry detergent (materials available at home); mix a small amount of toothpaste and laundry detergent; brush gently with hands or toothbrush; wait for 5 minutes before rinsing.
Chapter 4: What to do if you fail? There are also these remedies!
1. Send to dry cleaners: professional equipment + chemical cleaning agents, the most reliable way to deal with stubborn stains;2. Dyeing and reshaping: If you really can't wash it off, you can consider re-dyeing, patching or DIY patterns;
3. Partial cutting: small stains can be "hidden" by cutting, knotting, etc..
Tips: use cardboard when using highlighters; wear old clothes to do homework; cover the pen cap in time after each use to avoid ink leakage.
