Anyone ever accidentally washed (and dryed) a ball point pen?

Any home remedies? I see a ton online, but not sure what to do. Have a dozen or so items that got ink on them....ugh.

Yeah, good luck with that. I have a sweatshirt the gf got ink on last year and it is still there.

If it's dried in, that stain will be tough to remove, if it's even possible.
Or this:

works a little has to be aerosol. Depends on the fabric. In my car totally worked on a big spot. On my dress shirt made it faint but still their. I would get 10 pens break them in half and throw them all in the wash on hot with the stained clothes. Could be a cool pattern.

This. And it has to be aerosol. I got ink out of a white dress shirt this way. But it was just a thick solid line not a big spot.

Shaving cream with a dry spot

Club soda with a wet spot. (tee hee) Club Soda works well with red wine spills

I did this in college with my khakis for student teaching (all of them in the same load...)

I soaked them overnight in the sink in a mixture of hot water, two bottles of 90% rubbing alcohol, and several cups of laundry detergent. I then scrubbed the spots with an abrasive sponge, and they came out.

Rubbing alcohol worked well for me.

With holes in them?

Have you tried burning your house down yet?

Rubbing Alcohol is the best advice I can give as it has worked for me in the past with stuff similar to this.

 

[mj4cy]

Rubbing alcohol has gotten some out, but still ink left. so i rinsed and will wait til it dries completely. then will try hairspray or nail polish remover.

Yep, done that to a load full of jeans. Hair spray does the trick.
