Amodex Ink & Stain Remover 1oz Bottle

This stuff is absolutely amazing! I put it on the fabric and rubbed it in with an old toothbrush. Nothing happened so I was afraid it was a dud. But I covered all the spots as directed and threw it in the washer with detergent and let it go. To my surprise every bit of red ink came out of my quilt!!! Couldn’t be more surprised or impressed with this product!! 5 Stars

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!

The remover was tested on a pink oxford cloth shirt with a security pen ink mark and a separate black stain. It lightened both marks but did not completely remove either one, even with application and rubbing according to the directions. The treatment also takes considerable effort, making the process less convenient when the results are only partial. While some improvement was noticeable, the product did not produce the level of stain removal expected from a dedicated remover. The product offers poor value because the purchase quantity is small and requires considerable effort while producing only partial results.

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.

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!

This stuff is the best stain remover I have ever tried! My son left a red Sharpie pen in his pocket and it bled all over a whole load of light colored clothes. Amodex worked like magic! It took the stains out of everything. It removed the stains on most everything on the first try. There were a couple of items that I had to treat twice, but the stains all came out. 10/10 highly recommend!

Some older set in ink/paint stains didn't come out. I might try working it in a few more times. But some mystery greasy spots my son magically gets in his shirt totally disappeared after 2 washes!! Will definitely buy again!!

I think depending on the situation and stain it's hit or miss. I have an expensive brand new white polo that my son got black dry erase marker on.! Oh brother🙄😕First day wearing it too! Right away after school I treated it with Ixy, then bleach then some special treatment from online with rubbing alcohol....then out of frustration I ordered Amodex hoping for the best. After 20+ applications, scrubs, lathers, blots, and letting it sit overnight and treating again, plus two extra washings using an oxy whites detergent it has not come out! It is 75 percent still visible only paled a bit and I cannot be sure if it was the Amodex or the washing in the machine all lathered up that got it a bit paler. So definitely do not recommend for black on white, but perhaps it will do better with other types of stains. I was hopeful oh well🤷Also, if you need to treat over and over I recommend getting the larger size as I'm all out now! Used it all.

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!!!

Absolutely amazing product! I got gel ink stains on my trousers from washing them with pens on accident and its been months since I done anything about it because I seen people use alcohol which made it worst and I didn't want to risk it, however I got this stain remover and it works like a charm. I seen the bad reviews and honesty I think they must be using the product wrong because this is like magic (see pictures below). Mind you I also had these go in the dryer etc and it still after months managed to get most of the gel ink out, I will say if u look very very close you'll see a wee bit of it but honestly it's not bad and if you do it mutiple times unlike me who used it just once on my trousers it'll likely disappear all together. Very pleased because they discontinued making these trousers so I thought I could never wear them outside again. THANK YOU WHOEVER MADE THIS! (The picture after the stain remover still looks like it has white spots because it's before I put it in the washing machine once you was it those go away)

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