Black pen ink soaked into my friend's suede coach. I used WINK on each ink spot and it came off right away. I just put a little bit of WINK, water, and a soft rub. It comes right up. It's perfect.

I applied the wink stuff as directed several times and the ink spot is still on the shirt !

The product was used to get serious ink stains out of one of my favorite pair of pants. A pen leaked a large amount of ink into one of the pockets visibly discoloring the pant leg. Tried several other stain removers with little success before using Wink. Appears to be a great product for removing ink stains from many materials.

Tried many stain removers on a micro suede jacket that I got a couple ink stains on, none worked. I saw Wink advertised on Amazon and gave it a try. It removed the stains!!! Love the product, this is a jacket that couldn't be replaced and I was ready to discard it. Wink saved the day and it was the cheapest of all the products I tried previously.

An ink stain on my bed cover. I applied Wink and rinsed repeatedly, and scrubbed at it with an old toothbrush. Wink got some of the ink out, but then couldn't do anymore. Unfortunately, the ink stain remains. It might have been able to do more if the ink hadn't dried.

My Mother gave me some of the "wink" ink remover once by rarely ever needed it. Once my room mate totally soaked his $70 dress shirt pocket with ball point ink. I mean Soaked! It was drenched in ink. He asked me if I had any ideas to get it clean. Well, we tried the "Wink" ink remover. To my amazement there was absolutely no trace of ink on the pocket. Incredible stuff!

I have never found anything else that works on ink like this. It once got out a large amount of turquoise ink from my favorite rayon blouse. For a difficult ink stain leave it on overnight, then wash the garment. I keep giving wink to friends as a gift.

I don't know what this stuff is for. I bought 5 of them - figuring I'd eventually use them. I can't find anything that they work on. Ballpoint? Nope. Sharpie? Nope. Dry Erase? Nope. Finally I ended up just throwing all five sticks in with the washing machine, letting it soak all day, and HOPING some stain would come out. None did. Don't waste your money.

I bought some expensive, white, designer jeans on sale and didn't notice the ball point ink stains on the insides of the pant legs until I got home and had ripped the tags off.
I checked around the web for household tips on ink removal, found about a dozen references that said getting ink completely out was pretty much impossible and finally ran onto this product on Amazon.

Just now treated the 4 or 5 stains on my jeans with Wink, rinsed the spots under the bathroom faucet and they are GONE! I'm going to pop my jeans in the washer and wear them tomorrow. And I'm going to tell everyone I know about Wink! It's chemical magic.

I have been using Wink since 1988 when first found it at a local craft shop. Wink works best when used on a fresh stain and on synthetics. It works on cotton as well but requires more rubbing. If you have hopes of it working on a permanent marker - it depends on the fabric. If on cotton - probably not all the way. Remember that heat SETS stains in fabric. Use cool water, NO dryer, and be patient. Some stains require multiple treatments -- do NOT use the dryer between treatments - just line dry. I've had lots of luck with a toothbrush or hand rubbing and patience. My first experience was with an ink pen that exploded on cotton shirts in a dryer -- it worked and I've been a true believer ever since!
