Flair Pens in Laundry - Can I Get Rid of Stains?

Question

Mr Bozo here, had not one, but TWO flair pens run through the wash & dry cycles. There are black marks all over some of my favorite T-shirts and shorts. Any way to get them out? I'm thinking I might have had a chance until the dryer "set" the stains. Am I right (hope not)?

The worst part is this is not the first time. I stick them in my T-shirt collar when I'm on a job. This is my payback for not checking the laundry as it goes in - and being a batchelor. Thanks for any suggestions.

Answer 1

Do you have some WD40 available ? if yes spray the stains with it , rub the stains with your hands to loosen the ink, then get a pail and soak the T. shirts in warm water and detergent , leave it overnight to soak, tomorrow you wash them as usual and next time check those pockets!
