We thought his clothes were ruined. I saw several people recommend Oxyclean. I washed the clothes in HOt water, I even heated 2 pots of water on the stove, not quite to boiling, with 1 cup of baking soda and 7 scoops of Oxyclean. I soaked and aggitated them for a bout 7 hours then washed them on hot water and everything came out clean. I couldn't believe it! As for the dryer, I soaked 2 white cleaning towels in bleach water, then put them in the dryer on the hottest setting, the dryer looks new again. I tried the prefume ideas but didn't have any luck and it took too long. The towels were effective and easy I will do that to clean my dryer from now on every couple of months. Thank you to everyone's input.

I've used on other vinyl type toys my daughter has and acquired. It worked quite well.

I made this mixture of Oxyclean, Era and Dawn dishwashing liquid in an old shout spray bottle. I soaked the spots thoroughly and let them sit for an hour or two, pre-washed then washed. Amazingly all have been saved BUT one. I have some ripstop pants that are 70% cotton/30% Nylon, they didn't come completely clean. They also had the worst staining. I have been repeating the treatment with them, so far three tries and it is still there, just a little less stain each time.

I was certain they were ruined; huge red blotches on the jeans. But I read this post and figured I had nothing to lose. I soaked them in a small washer load of water and about 5-6 capfuls of Oxyclean for a couple hours, then ran the wash cycle. UNBELIEVABLE! The ink is completely gone. I am so totally amazed!

I used 2 scoops of oxyclean in hot water- it didn't work. I'm using the oxyclean free (w/o the dyes and fragrance). I don't know if that has made the difference, or what, but i'm going to try the paste next. I'll let you know how that goes.

At first I didn't notice anything, but when I pulled out some of the lighter colored clothes; at least one of them was ruined and several stained; or so I thought. I found this site and followed your directions of hot water/oxyclean soaking and washed the next next day in regular temperature water and every stain was gone!!! Thanks for the help.....

I didn't notice it until I took the clothes out of the dryer. There was ink on those pants as well as my daughter's nice jeans and my jeans. I thought they were ruined but used the Oxyclean and the ink is gone. I used 10 scoops of the Oxyclean in a half tank of hot water in my washer overnight. In the morning I ran hot water to fill the washer and added detergent. Everything came out!!!

HURRY my moms gonna kill me if she see's i got pen all over her new white shirt. Editor's Note: It is available at most grocery stores in the laundry section. Also it's available at WalMart. There are some other oxygen cleaners also with slightly different names that should work.

Report Spam or Abuse RE: Oxyclean to Remove Gel Ink Pen From Clothing Post By Rachel (Guest Post) (06/24/2006) I heard someone say something about making a paste out of the Oxyclean and it worked. How might you come about making this paste? Editor's Note: Take a small amount of oxyclean in a saucer and add a little water, mix into a paste. Apply the paste. This also works very well for cleaning spots from countertops.

Anyone who bakes homemade bread knows that these tubes are nearly impossible to find. The glass tubes were brown, and covered in thirty years worth of grease and baked- on grime. My mother had scrubbed these tubes with SOS pads, lucky boy scrubbers, everything. After soaking the tubes in very hot water and two scoops of Oxyclean, the tubes were completely spotless and shiny again! Thank you so much!!!

The washclothes I was telling you about were white too.

I was carrying a printer and somehow,the ink had leaked an was all over the bottom of my green(brand new) tee shirt. I did just as was suggested and could see the ink literally pour out of the shirt. Thank you Report Spam or Abuse RE: Oxyclean to Remove Gel Ink Pen From Clothing Post By Connie (Guest Post) (10/26/2004) Oxyclean is great for many things but be sure to dilute it real well. I made a pasty mix and cleaned a spot on my husbands shirt pocket and put it immediately in the washer but it bleached the spot slightly. Great product but use with caution. Report Spam or Abuse
