How To Remove TPE Stains in less than 10 seconds
I let the following sit for about a day, giving time for the inks and grease to dry.. The pen marks were pretty deep in there. I cleaned the first 2 in less than 10 seconds. The "Permanent" one took about a minute.. However, I was using just Q-Tips.. Soap does nothing to these marks.
Test - ink from a pen
Grease Mark - grease from the screws on the doll
Permanent - Permanent Sharpie ink
Magic Method: Odorless Mineral Spirits..

I noticed isoproponal removed a lot of the 'darker' line stains that occurred where the fabric was folded, but did nothing to the 'bulk' stain over a larger area.

I removed a blue clothing stain a while back, but it wasn't as bad as some on here.. Perhaps, someone can do a test

The OMS is "Odorless" ... and have a very mild odor if you leave it on, but goes away after a few hours. If you wash it with soft soap after the OMS evaporates, all you smell is the TPE.Endril wrote:Mineral spirits did that? Did the odor reside from the mineral spirits?

If you washed it 1,000 times with soap and water, it wouldn't make a difference. If you scrubbed it with a brush, it would most likely damage the TPE.tubee wrote:The can says "no residue". Does that indicate a neutralizer isn't necessary for cleanup? Soap and water or detergent and water suffice?

There's also a stain on her ear from a blue headband I left on for a couple of months. It didn't stain for weeks but it did eventually stain after months of sitting next to her ear.
The grease spot.
It's gone.
There it is.
Unfortunately, it had only a slight effect on the ear stain.
It worked great on a grease stain that had been in place for months but the dye stain from clothing there was some good done but it didn't knock it out.
