Then she placed the shirt in the washing machine with half a cup of baking soda in the barrel and white vinegar in the rinse cycle.
It’s essential to wash the t-shirt on a hot cycle to remove the stain from the fabric, and Carolina said the wash can be repeated if necessary.
‘This should get you out of trouble,’ she wrote, revealing that the ink had been removed from the T-shirt.

The alcohol in the hand sanitizer is thought to easily lift the ink, and combining it with the natural products is the best combination.
Baking soda and vinegar are often used together to kill unwanted bacteria from laundry.
