How do you get ink from a pen out of a car seat?
I had an ink pen blow up in my pocket and it got everywhere, including my driver's car seat. I usually take very good care of my car and I hate messes, so this is driving me nuts. How do I get ink pen stains out of my car seat upholstery?

“Ink stains are the worst! Luckily, they’re easy to combat.
To get rid of ink on your car seat, grab a bottle of ethyl alcohol. Pour the alcohol on the affected area and dab it with a paper towel. Repeat the process until the ink is gone.
Don’t try to remove the stain in any other way or while you’re behind the wheel. This could lead to an
accident which can cause your car insurance rates to go up
. If you really want the stain removed, pull over to a safe place. Otherwise, you risk putting your collision coverage
to the test—and no one wants that.If you do want to make sure you’re getting your coverage for the best price—both for the interior and exterior of your car—you can always try comparing prices and coverage with the
Jerry
app. We’ll get you customized quotes from multiple providers so you can be sure you’re covered for any more messes that might occur. (And if you do find a new plan you like, we can even help you switch!)Drive safely, and happy cleaning!”
