Tipp-Ex is the brand name of a correction fluid (white-out). It can be tough to remove from clothing. But there are some steps you can follow to remove Tipp-Ex, if you get it (or another brand of correction fluid) on your clothes.
Step 1
Scrape off as much of the Tipp-Ex as possible using a butter knife. Take care not to damage the fabric.

Step 2
Do a patch test on a small corner of the fabric to make sure that the Tipp-Ex doesn't bleach or damage it. Be extra careful with delicate fabrics, such as silk.
Step 3
Dip the cotton ball into the white spirit and dab it on the Tipp-Ex stain. Start at the outer edge of the stain and work your way toward the center.
Step 4
Let it sit for 15 minutes, then rinse off with cool water.
Step 5
Wash the garment in the washing machine as you normally would. If the stain is still there, continue to Step 6.
Step 6
Spray WD-40 on the Tipp-Ex stain.
Step 7
Let it sit for 15 minutes.
Step 8
Wash the garment as you usually would, using a biological laundry detergent. Non-biological detergents will leave a WD-40 stain.
