Answer 1

GOOF OFF.  It works on dozens of things.  Get at Home Depot or any hardware store.

Answer 2

I used to do this all the time when I was a waitress; pens left in my pocket. I found the best thing is to use Comet . Put a few sprinkles on a moist sponge and buff the pen off.. It didn't damage my dryer and removed the the pen completely.. Just be sure to rinse it off thoroughly so it does not bleach your clothes.  I've also tried alcohol and hairspray to no avail. The Comet saved me many times.

Best wishes to you -

Answer 3

I have cleaned ink stains out of the dryer with a little bit of rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball. Make sure it dries really well before using again (you may want to wipe any residue off with a damp cloth).

Answer 4

Tough one...if you can get at it with a cloth or sponge, try some acrylic lacquer thinner, like for auto. paint.  Be sure dryer is cool!

Answer 5

That happened to me before and I used hairspray. I sprayed it directly on the stain in the dryer and it wiped clean. It also works on ink and blood stains on clothing.
