HELP, I washed a whole load of darks with a red ballpoint pen.?

Question

I didn't realize the pen was in there until I was unloading the dry clothes. What can I do? Thank you so much for your help.

Answer 1

Spray ink spots wet with hairspray and then rub a white Bar soap on, then wash in cold water. You may need to do this a couple times depending on how big and thick the ink is in spots. The bar soap acts t stop the ink from running.  

Answer 2

My grandma used to use Prell Shampoo on my uncle's shirts. He was constantly bursting pens in the pockets.

Answer 3

The only thing that I have ever know to take out ink was hairspray.  I don't know if it will work now that you have washed the load, but it couldn't make it any worse.  Wash with cold water though.  Good Luck

Answer 4

  You can try to put some rubbing alcohol on the stain with a drop on dawn for dishes and rub gently, and rinse, Its going to be difficult because they were dried so the stain has been dried in.     Good Luck..
