Can't be specific, but it's certainly water soluble and computer printed  labels I put on One Step spot/stain remover lost the print , pretty quickly.

I had one of these recently, tried everything from Solutions No 2, Eco Spotter, Red RX, Rotowashed, HWE. Stain was MUCH better, but still not 100% gone. Like pen ink, I think it could be one of those things we can't do!!

Unless....... someone knows different!!

Hi Guys

use dry powder granules, solution no1, envirodri, host. allow them to dry out completely, re-soak them in some solvent (in a vented area) then use the powder to cover the ink leave for around 10-15 mins you will see the ink transfer, vacuum thoroughly. I would rinse, with standard Micro Splitters

Have tried this with very succesfull results following a chat with John Bolton

Best regards Nick

Hi Matt

Best regards Nick

Sorry Nick, I don't know this product, what do we agitate with? A brush or machine?
