It\u2019s one of the best things you can use to wash off the ink stains inside your dryer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The process is straightforward, and all you need are water, bleach, and old towels or cloths that you can use to wipe with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>Make a solution out of water and bleach. Mix 1 liter of bleach in a small bucket of water (3 liters).<\/li><li>Put the old fabric in the water and bleach solution. Make sure that it\u2019s properly saturated in the bleach mixture. Once soaked, squeeze the cloth to avoid the solution dripping everywhere, causing more stains.<\/li><li>Once you\u2019ve squeezed it enough, place the damp fabric on the stained areas for 30 minutes to an hour. Doing this lets the bleach absorb the ink stains, helping you remove them effectively.<\/li><li>After the allotted time, check if there are stains visible. If there are light stains, repeat the process.<\/li><li>But, once there are no visible stains left, rinse your dryer with water and wipe the insides with a dry cloth.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_commercial_cleaners_for_the_fast_removal_of_ink_stains\"><\/span>Using commercial cleaners for the fast removal of ink stains<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for a quick way to remove ink stains from your dryer, what better way than using ready-made cleaners?

You will notice that these items will absorb the stains fast. Continue doing this process until there are no visible stains inside your dryer.<\/li><li>When there are no visible stains left, rinse your dryer with water and dry it using a clean cloth.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Nail_polish_removers_can_amazingly_remove_ink_stains_as_well\"><\/span>Nail polish removers can amazingly remove ink stains as well<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only does nail polish remover work to remove nail polish from your fingernails, but you can also use it to remove other ink stains on various surfaces.
