Removing White-Out Stain on Clothing

Archives: Request: Removing White-Out Stain on Clothing Archived on 01/22/2008 My husband's work shirt is a light baby blue and yesterday he was playing with a white-out pen and it broke and got all over his shirt. We have used oxiclean and it still did not come out. Does anyone have a suggestion or is it a lost cause now? Thank you, AMY from PHILPOT, KY Answers: RE: Removing White-Out Stain on Clothing Try WD-40. My father-in-law spilled some on top of his black TV. I tried everything to remove it and as a last resort I sprayed a little WD-40 on it and it wiped off in seconds! I've used it on stains on white sweaters and many other things, and it's never let me down. The stuff is amazing! (07/22/2006) By Teresa RE: Removing White-Out Stain on Clothing I spilled white out all over my good leather purse and I used sunscreen on it and it came off! Thanks for the great tip. (08/03/2006) RE: Removing White-Out Stain on Clothing Use 3M citrus base Natural Cleaner to remove white out stains from clothing. Spray 3M Natural Cleaner on spot on clothing, then use bristle brush on spot and white out will dissolve and article of clothing should then be washed with soap and water by hand and then washed with soap and water in washing machine.

(09/26/2006) By Raquel RE: Removing White-Out Stain on Clothing It didnt work for me! I made the chair all gross and white! Don't use GOO GONE! (10/03/2006) By mel and alli RE: Removing White-Out Stain on Clothing We just tried a regular rubber eraser (as Goo Gone, acetone, paint thinner, and sunscreen are unavailable in my office). It worked very well. There is only one small spot left and I imagine that will come out in the wash. (10/16/2006) By Melissa RE: Removing White-Out Stain on Clothing My daughter got white out on her school uniform navy blue pants I used a pink pearl eraser and it worked. thanks so much for the great tip... (11/07/2006) By Ter RE: Removing White-Out Stain on Clothing I tried Goof off since so many people recommended it. It worked (not completely but close enough). It was on my black suit jacket for work and I still wear it (11/27/2006) By Amie RE: Removing White-Out Stain on Clothing I used "Goof Off" it took the white-out stains out of both my black pants and beige shirt-without causing discoloration. Goof Off is made to be used on most fabics and to remove white correction fluid. It's great. I called BIC and they recommend: a citrus based cleaner (Goof Off, or Goo Gone) or mineral spirits (paint thinner) to remove white-out from clothing, they also remind you to test a spot first to make sure it will not discolor your clothing. (01/23/2007) By Sabrina RE: Removing White-Out Stain on Clothing I used Goof-Off on my slacks and it just smeared the white-out, but left a terrible stain. I threw them away. I think I'll try the WD-40 on another shirt that has white-out on it and see how it works. (02/01/2007) By C. Cross RE: Removing White-Out Stain on Clothing I got on here to see what to use and I tried wd-40 and it worked like a charm. Thanks to everyone that said it would work. (03/15/2007) By Brittany RE: Removing White-Out Stain on Clothing It's really just paint - so I have scraped it off with a razor blade - very carefully! (05/11/2007) By pamphyila RE: Removing White-Out Stain on Clothing I'm still in shock. I thought for sure my black polyester dress pants were trash after spilling a large amount of white-out on them. All you need to do is spray WD-40 and scrub. Rinse out then dab with a little polish remover and rinse thoroughly again. Finish with scrubbing shout it out stain remover and throw in the washer. Good as new!!! Really, IT WORKS!! (05/29/2007) By Mari RE: Removing White-Out Stain on Leather Couch I spilled white out all over my black leather couch and could not get it out with anything that I tried. Scratched, scrubbed... Ultimately, the product that did the job was Goo Gone. So, if you get in the unfortunate predicament that I just did, save yourself the time and worry and get yourself some Goo Gone. It really saved me. (07/28/2007) By Robin RE: Removing White-Out Stain on Clothing Thanks so much it worked! Finally the white-out is off my school uniform! At first I used nail polish remover but that didn't seem to work. Then sunscreen and that was worse. Then I used WD40 and I scrubbed and it wasn't coming off. Then I rinsed it and tried it again and slowly it began to fade. After a lot of scrubbing it was gone. Thanks so much for the help! (09/18/2007) By opal RE: Removing White-Out Stain on Clothing I used Goof Off to remove White out on my dark blue jeans, and it came out completely! I just followed the directions on the bottle. even better is the fact that the stain was 2 weeks old, and I had already washed the jeans a few times! (09/26/2007) By Corrie RE: Removing White-Out Stain on Clothing We just had a co-worker get liquid white-out on her new black scrubs. Remembering the success I had last week with removing ink-jet toner from my hands, we tried Simple Green wipes and the vast majority of the white-out scrubbed off. I'm sure with a little more effort, she can get the final little bit out, too! (11/01/2007) By Puxter RE: Removing White-Out Stain on Clothing I just tried this out personally. Try automotive Brake Cleaner. Works great. (01/11/2008) By JLo Report Spam or Abuse Tip: Removing White-Out Spot on Clothing Archived on 07/20/2006 If you ever get White-Out (also called "Liquid Paper") or permanent marker on clothing; dab on a small amount of sunscreen over the stain and rub off with a paper towel. Repeat until stain is gone and then wash normally. By Marnita from Cumming, GA Report Spam or Abuse Request: Removing White-Out Spot on Clothing Archived on 07/10/2006 I would like to know how I can take a spot of white-out off of clothing. Thank you. Erica from New Jersey Answers: RE: Removing White-Out Spot on Clothing 07/30/2004 I know when I need to thin white out and I do not have the thinner, I have used paint thinner or mineral spirits and shake as instructed on the thinner bottle it works fine. On clothes I am not sure of. It might work but do it with caution and wash. By c4hobbs RE: Removing White-Out Spot on Clothing 11/26/2004 1. Sponge with acetone (unless fabric contains acetate.) 2. Tamp with brush or spoon. 3. Flush with alcohol. By ThriftyFun RE: Removing White-Out Spot on Clothing 02/09/2005 If it is a non acetate material, treat it with acetone. Cheap nail polish remover has acetone so you could use that. Tamp it with a brush to try to break it up the best you can, then flush with rubbing alcohol. If it is acetate, you might do best to take them to a dry cleaner or use dry cleaning fluid. Goof Off, Goo Gone, paint thinner and alcohol all are recommended. Susan from ThriftyFun By ThriftyFun RE: Removing White-Out Spot on Clothing 03/15/2005 Liquid Paper company said to use 'Goo Off' or 'Goo Gone' to remove White-Out from washable clothing. By SHELIA (Guest Post) RE: Removing White-Out Spot on Clothing 03/22/2005 I just spilled the white out on my desk at work and it ran down into my lap and onto the floor. I went to google.com and found out what would work... Goo-Gone! I used it and it did work! Thanks Google.com, you come through again. By Kathy (Guest Post) RE: Removing White-Out Spot on Clothing 02/09/2006 Goo Gone worked great! It was the only thing I could find that worked. By Fran RE: Removing White-Out Spot on Clothing 04/30/2006 Goof off will remove goof ups with white out. I used it on black jeans and it didn't even remove the color! And of course, they were my favorite designer ones! Good luck!!! By Gina Report Spam or Abuse
