How to remove ink stain from white uniform

So, you’ve turned your crisp white school blazer into a DIY art project? Don’t panic—whether it’s a pen explosion in math class or a rogue marker in the lab, we’ve got the lekker hacks to save your uniform (and your dignity). From school jerseys to navy blue school pants, these tips work wonders. Let’s dive in!

Step 1: Act Fast, Think Faster

Ink stains wait for no one. Blot (don’t rub!) with a clean cloth. For school uniforms, speed is key—treat it like dodging a Durban downpour without a school tracksuit.

Step 2: Milk Magic (Yes, Really)

South Africa’s secret weapon? Cold milk. Soak the stain on your white shirt or school jersey for 30 minutes. It’s cheaper than a nanny uniform’s dry-cleaning bill and works like a charm.

Step 3: Toothpaste Tango

Non-gel toothpaste (the plain white kind) is your ink nemesis. Rub it into the stain on school pants or blazers, let it sit, then rinse. Bonus: Your uniform will smell minty fresh—no Cape Town wind can compete.

Step 4: Hairspray Hijinks

Channel your inner MacGyver. Spray hairspray on the stain (works on school tracksuits too!), let it sit, then toss it in the wash. Pro tip: Local school uniform suppliers approve—just don’t tell your mom.

Step 5: Baking Soda Blitz

Mix baking soda + water into a paste, scrub gently, and watch the ink vanish. Even security uniform pros swear by this for stubborn stains.

When All Else Fails…

If your white school uniform still looks like a doodle pad, hit up SA’s school uniform shops for a replacement. Local factories keep prices low, so your wallet won’t need CPR.

Cheeky PSA: Prevention > Panic

Keep pens capped like they’re rival rugby fans.

Layer a school jersey over your white shirt—ink’s worst nightmare.

Stash stain wipes in your bag (because Mondays).

Final Bell

Ink stains happen to the best of us—even CEOs in corporate uniforms. But with these hacks, your school uniform will survive ink-gate and live to see another assembly. Remember: A clean uniform isn’t just about looking sharp; it’s about repping SA’s school pride, stain-free. 🧼
