Unlike the first method with a water-based putty, in this situation there is no need to rush. The stain from the emulsion or alcohol corrector should dry completely. After drying, the putty can be wiped off with a mechanical method. But to completely cope with the stain in this way will not work.

Remains of contamination from an alcohol-based putty should be wiped off with a cotton sponge, which is moistened with alcohol, vodka or cologne.

If the stain is left with putty on an emulsion basis, ammonia will help to cope with it better. It is necessary to mix ammonia and water in a ratio of 1: 2. Next, you need to properly wipe the stain and after 20 minutes, thoroughly rinse it with water.

And only after that the thing can be washed in a washing machine, select the washing mode corresponding to the material of the product.

After half an hour with a clean cotton pad, you need to remove the remainder of the substance. It is important not to press the cotton pad over the stain: this way you will only rub the putty deeper into the fabric. If the stain has not been removed the first time, the procedure can be repeated.

In cases when a thing is dirty with a solid corrector in the form of a tape, it will be possible to cope with pollution without much effort.

The stain from the tape will completely dissolve and disappear if you soak a thing in soapy water and leave it for half an hour. After that, the product can be washed in a washing machine or manually.
