Question

Discovered that there was a pen in the dryer that soiled all my whites. How do I clean get them clean?

Answer 1

Hairspray has alot of alcohol in and is often successful  however I would sooner use straight Isopropyl Alcohol(rubbing alcohol)Wash in nice  warm sudsy water after  the treatment.

Answer 2

bleach them if they are all white.

Answer 3

That oxy stuff might work. I put red lipstick in the dryer with all my new work clothes. With oxy and a lot of washing it came clean. A clorox pen is good too. I watched it evaporate a red wine stain on a white shirt. Good luck.

Answer 4

If the clothes have dried with the ink on them, it's probably "set" the ink.  You could try dabbing some eucalyptus oil on the ink marks.  That works well on ink stains on walls, etc, so might work on clothes.  

Otherwise try washing the whites again but use a pre-soak first or a spray stain remover ... might work.  Otherwise, decide you've got a nice new collection of rags and go and treat yourself to some new whites! :)

Answer 5

buy cheep hair spray and spot clean each spot. first  spray the sports and dab them with a cloth then scrub the spots, you may have to re-apply hair spray and scrub again. i had a whole dryer full of white clothes that had a ink pen in one of the shirts. just had purchased some new clothes. try this method, it works.
