To remove ink from rubber bands, try using rubbing alcohol.
Here's a breakdown of the process:
-
Apply Rubbing Alcohol: Dab rubbing alcohol directly onto the ink stain on the rubber band.
-
Penetration Time: Allow the alcohol to sit for a couple of minutes. This gives it time to penetrate the surface and react with the ink, helping to break it down.
-
Blot the Ink: Use paper towels or a pre-dampened cloth (soaked in either water or more alcohol) to gently blot the ink stain. Avoid rubbing vigorously, as this could damage the rubber band.
-
Repeat if Necessary: If the ink stain persists, repeat steps 1-3 until the ink is removed or significantly lightened.
-
Rinse (Optional): If you used a lot of rubbing alcohol, you can gently rinse the rubber band with water and then pat it dry.
By following these steps, you should be able to successfully remove ink from your rubber bands.
