So the other day I was sitting on my couch (which is only a little over a year old) attempting to hold Adelaide (my 4 month old daughter), my laptop, and a notebook and pen. Well, I got distracted and stood up not paying attention to the pen and paper and when I came back to the couch the pen was sitting there and I had a ink stain about the size of a dime! I have a book with some household tips in it so I quickly looked up how to get rid of ink stains and I mixed up the "potion" and let it work it's magic....I was pretty skeptical, but it worked!!!
Blot off any wet ink you can, then mix 2T cornstarch and a little whole milk until you have a thick paste. Then cover the stain and wait for 4 hours to wipe it off (you don't know how many times I almost sat down in the milky inky cornstarch!). I then took a wet paper towel and got the paste off and it was as good as new! My couch is chocolate brown so it hides a lot of stains, but this blue ink was right in the middle of a cushion and I was afraid I'd have to look at it for the next 15 years!!!
Do you have any handy household tips?
