DH or DS left a pen in a pocket and it went through the wash. The entire load is covered in blue ink! tapedshut.gif Is there any way to get the ink out? It already went through the dryer. icon_cry.gif

Hairspray. Cheap, aerosol hairspray.

I'm with hn87519 on the hairspray if the stain is fresh but in my experience, the heat from the dryer will set any stain in for good. You may want to check your local grocery or Wal-mart type store. RIT dye sells a couple of stain remover type products that just might do the trick.

Good luck thumbs_up.gif

I have had this happen a few times. You might want to try oxiclean. The powdered one. make it into a paste and rub on the stain. let sit for 5 minutes then rewash with a few scoops in the wash.

Scissors.
Give him his clothes back with all the inks spots "removed."
Bet he'll never leave any pens in his clothes again.

Works everytime.

As strange as it may sound, toothpaste works on magic markers, so it may work for this as well, although I don't know since it's been through the dryer. good luck.
