1. How to Remove Xerox Toner From Clothing Stains in general are one of life's many annoyances, especially when it's something near impossible to remove. Clothing is pretty expensive to begin with, and then you get stains and it's a whole different cost to get the dry cleaners to remove them--if they can. If you've ever been elected as the lucky individual to change the toner in the Xerox copier at work (usually on the day you when you decided to wear that crisp white shirt and freshly dry-cleaned khaki's), you know that unless you're wearing a hazmat suit, you'll probably end up with some toner- from change induced battle stains. Usually, this would mean throwing out the item and going shopping, with a chip on your shoulder all because of the stupid copy machine and its Xerox Toner needs. Keep in mind though, next time you find yourself in that boat, just refer to the handy guide here to help you treat the stain and salvage your stained item of clothing. Xerox toner is so hard to get out of clothes because of the special powder it's made of; which contains a highly concentrated amount of pigments and dyes. Toner melts when heated, thus causing it to bond firmly to paper in the printing process. When toner comes in contact with clothing it doesn't form an indelible bond right away, you have a window of time to treat it, and salvage your item of affected clothing. Here are 5 steps to treat Xerox Toner stains in clothing yourself: 1) Remove the article of clothing as soon as possible and shake it out. The sooner you attend to the stain, the less time the stain has to settle into the fibers of the item. Shake it to get as much loose toner out as possible. 2) Use a Vacuum with an attachment to vacuum out those loose particles in the clothing. The more Xerox toner you can get out without water, the less likely the stain will be to set.

2. 3) Fill the sink basin with cold water and immerse the item. Work with the item to try to get more toner out. Drain the sink and run more cold water over the item, trying again to get more Xerox toner out. 4) Wash the item in a washing machine on the cold water setting with mild detergent only. 5) Air-dry the article in the shade or indoors. You're air drying primarily because if there's any toner left, the heat from the dryer which will probably set the stain permanently. This will make it much harder or down-right impossible to remove. More Tips and Warnings: Avoid touching the toner with your hands when removing the stained article of clothing. This prevents the toner particles from accidentally being spread. If you get Xerox toner on your clothing, shake out the article of clothing outdoors. This avoids the Xerox Toner particles landing on other easily stained items like carpet, furniture upholstery, and other items of clothing. DO NOT use warm or hot water when washing the item, as it will set the stain most likely permanently. If the item is dry-cleaning only, inform your cleaners that toner was spilled before they dry-clean it. They may also need to know what kind of toner was spilled on it to ensure proper treatment, based on the makeup of the toner. For More Info - http://ctcopier.com/
