Re: HELP!! Pen expoded in dryer

Ink is very easy to remove.

 

Hairspray works wonders,  you can just spray it on clothing or any hard surface and rub in... Then wash with detergent.

 

If there is a lot of ink on something, there is an ink remover made by Carbona that is wonderful.  It is sold at my local grocery store.  You can also get it at Walmart or online.  It had no odor and is gentle.

 

 I once used Carbona to remove a puddle of dried red ink from a white heirloom baby blanket with 100% success.

Magic Eraser is a good idea and try Bio Cleaner if you have it.  I would try everything I have in the house and make sure I thoughly rinsed between different products and at the end...then if you can, try a load of wet/damp old towels or something you don't care about to see if it brings any addition ink out from the nooks and crannies.

Do you have any rags or old cleaning cloths around the house.  Wet them and throw them in on the higest temp and see if you get transfer.

@MrsCat21  Have you had any success yet?  If so, what worked for you?

Strive for respect instead of attention. It lasts longer.

When my kids were small, I had good success with using toothpaste to remove ink.
