Amodex Ink & Stain Remover 1oz Bottle

This product is amazing!!! I almost never give reviews but I had to rave about this product and hopefully help fellow artists that have accidentally ruined countless pieces of clothing for creative endeavors. I used it on a pure white shirt that I had accidentally stained it with slightly watered down permanent black Higgins India ink due to an art project. The stained spot was about 2-3 centimeters large and I spent about an hour/hour in a half continuously placing the liquid on the spot and scrubbing it with a brush. It almost faded completely after my efforts and when I put it to wash and dry and the stain completely disappeared! This product takes patience , determination, and 90% of the bottle but it is worth it. One heck of a product and I highly recommend!

I purchased this to remove silver sharpie from black, lightly textured plastic. Seemed like a big ask. When I was ready to open this, I went out to the garage, opened the doors and put on protective gloves. I was expecting some serious toxic fumes. To my surprise the product was more like soap. I dabbed the ink mark with the Amodex and waited a few minutes. It didn’t really work. I was expecting immediate results. Like when using Naptha or alcohol. When in doubt-follow the instructions! I put a drop of Amodex, large enough to cover the ink mark, and waited until the next day. The next day I put another drop on the dried Amodex, to dampen the dried section and scrubbed it with a tooth brush. I let it set for a few hours and I wiped it off with a damp paper towel and the silver sharpie was gone. Awesome! I had 15 items I needed to remove the ink from. They were fairly small. I have quite a bit of the product left over. I just hope I can find the bottle next time I need it. Might be a long review, however I was impressed with how the product worked and that it didn’t need harsh, toxic chemicals!

UPDATE: I kept at it with the stains and discovered that the final step of laundering “as usual” is when the stain goes. I tried this on both pants and a couch. The pants are clean! It was when the washing with ordinary soap and water (in this case by hand) that the stain disappeared. The couch stain still isn’t gone all the way, but it is much better. So I will repeat the process and focus most on the washing at the end part. (The directions clearly state not to wet the item you are cleaning with water before beginning so I am going to let the couch dry thoroughly before I try it again). But I am quite impressed by the job it did on the pants and can now recommend this product! Original review: This product took a while to arrive and I waited impatiently as a pair of pants had gotten ballpoint on them. Followed the directions exactly. Sadly, this product did not reduce the stain much at all. Plain rubbing alcohol worked better. (The product has a pleasant fragrance but to my mind that’s not worth the greatly higher price as compared with rubbing alcohol). It removed a slight amount of a sharpie stain on a fabric couch, but not much. Stain still very very visible. Again, rubbing alcohol worked better on both these ink stains, though it slightly faded the area treated for the pants, which this product did not. But this product didn’t work for me at least.

The jeans had some ink smudges. I applied this product + other stain removers each day for about 3 days. The stains now become very light when wet, and they don't even show on the jeans when dry. Quite pleased with the result, but be prepared to apply it to an article of clothing and soak it in water for a few days (you may want to mix it with other stain removers too)

This is basically a soap. I ordered this to get black permanent marker out of a ran carpet which it did not work. It may have lightened very slightly with alot of cleaning. It may work for other stains well but not for permanent marker. Disappointed!

In the gym locker room I shared my cleaning discovery and everyone bought it. I don't get commission, I just love the product. The biggest test was a lacy Queen Victoria style blouse from 2 generations ago turning brownish and stained, especially the collar. I was going to throw it away, sniff sniff. I tried Amodex and it returned to its majestic glory. Grease on grandson's jeans, - gone. Cranberry dots from a spill - gone. Amodex is inexpensive, easy to use. Just remember DO NOT USE WATER before you use Amodox. I am not a salesperson. I get no money for sharing my authentic enthusiasm. I had 2 skeptics in my family not believe me. Now they do. I gave a bottle to all friends.

I was able to get red sharpie out of my white cosplay! As it instructed, I saturated the mark with the product, rubbed it in with my fingers, then on the side WITH THE MARK, I PRESSED the paper towel on it. It took a few repeat tries, but I attached a picture of the mark clearly transferred onto the paper towel!!!!! Repeat a little bit more and it was completely gone. I'm impressed. It's a small bottle so if you got a lot of stains you might want more but if it's an occasional thing like me this little bottle is fine. I also used it to get the stain ring out of my husband's shirt.

Didn't work for ballpoint ink stains on a beige color faux leather (PU)nsofa, but it did work on a genuine leather handbag which had bad color transfer from clothes. YMMV.

I tried this product to remove ink stain , all it did was to smudge the ink further and make it more ugly Completely ineffective

perfetto

I’m so happy I ordered this product. I’m a Poshmark seller and when packaging an order of a vintage dress that sold I noticed an ink stain. It took 5 rounds of using this gel but the stain from how ever long ago lifted. Absolutely no discolouration in the garment either. This gel was a total life saver!!!

Useless product.I used it on my wooden table to remove ink it didn,t work.

Was starting to lose hope after using everything recommended (including hairspray and high alcohol hand sanitizer), to remove the ballpoint pen ink stain but this product has worked wonders! Needs perseverance and patience, but after approx 4 applications for a few hours at a time, this product has near enough removed the stain off my cream faux leather dining table chair. Will be doing a few more applications to make sure the stain is fully gone. Would highly recommend.
