To be removed or cleaned, especially stains

- 2I hope the ink comes out of my shirt.
When you wash clothes and a dirty mark disappears, it means the mark is gone after cleaning. For example, if you spill juice on your shirt and wash it, and the spot is not there anymore, the stain is gone. The shirt looks clean again.
If you use hot water and soap, many stains come out more easily, but always check the clothing label first to avoid damage.
