Thank you to everyone for suggestions. We were house sitting and a pen exploded in our bosses dryer (on the last day none the less). We tried the bleach towels and it took it all away. Thanks again!

Forget the bleach towel! It did not touch the ink stains in my dryer, and it left a scratchy residue all over the inside of the dryer. It felt like sandpaper, and then we had to use Dawn and elbow grease to remove the residue. Ink stains remain, and the people who posted about the bleach towel neglected to mention that the towel you use should be a throw away. The combination of bleach and heat eats the towel and when you wash it later, it turns into shredded fluff in your washing machine. Another machine then needs to be cleaned! What a mess.

The towel drenched in Clorex is working!
MUAHUAHA!

Whoever invented this is a genius. Now I won't get yelled at by my parents!

Editor's Note: Make sure that you have good ventilation whenever using bleach.

My parents are the "as seen on TV" people who whenever something good comes on, they order it right away. Everytime we see a new product come on TV my mom is usually ordering it. Our garage is full of junk that they've bought off TV. So with that said, I found a great multipurpose cleaner called "LA's Totally Awesome Concentrated Multipurpose Cleaner". (Stupid name I know!) I thought, hmm, couldn't make it any worse! So I sprayed some on the ink in my dryer, and let it set for 1-2 minutes, it was already coming off, so I scrubbed at the bigger spots with a laundry stain brush and soaked the smaller spots and rubbed it down with a towel to dry it off and voila! Worked like a charm and only took about 10 minutes!
Good luck!

We had a lot of ink in the dryer, and we tried mr. clean, ammonia, paint thinner, a variety of alcohol based things, and goo gone. nothing worked that well- lots of hard scrubbing with minimal results. Tried the bleach towels and within 20 minutes it was completely gone. Best housecleaning tip I have ever tried.

Wow-thanks to all who suggested using bleach towels to remove ink from our dryer. I drenched 3 towels turned the dryer on high and within 30 minutes I was out of the dog house with my wife Susan. We both appreciate the suggestion.

I had a pen that exploded in my dryer today and one of my friends suggested simple green to get the ink out. I tried magic eraser, bleach and pledge all purpose cleaner, but the simple green worked almost instantly. Now the inside of the dryer looks new again!

Okay, so I tried the towels with Clorox Clean-up. No dice. Tried the magic eraser. Nada. Finally, I pulled out the nail polish remover, and I made some progress, but then I had to wash it out with dish-washing liquid and water (that stuff's flammable) and now I'm going to try the bleachy towels again. Folks, it just wasn't that easy, and after at least an hour, it definitely doesn't look as good as new. Beat those who do not check pocekts before doing laundry. Draw and quarter them, I say!

Nail polish remover worked like magic! But be sure to clean the drum several times with soap and water because a distributor website said not to use flammable materials...and nail polish remover is extremely flammable! Thanks!

Great tips. Son left red pen in pants - somewhere - I check all pockets, but may have missed one. Boy do I hate those many pocketed cargo pants. Tried rubbing alcohol with some luck then used the magic eraser with acetone nail polish and that really did the trick. I am now finishing up with the clorox clean up and some towels tumbling away. Son did all the scrubbing, it was his pen after all and he is 13. At least I opened up the garage and sliding glass doors so he could have some air. Was so worried when I saw the original mess since this dryer is only a few months old. Thanks again!

I heartily endorse the towels with bleach. I used about 5 towels and they were soggy with bleach water(more bleach than water). I dampened them twice and ran the dryer for about two hours. Towels absorbed the ink. Now I have to wash them. I don't know if the ink will come out but I probably don't care. Rather ink on my towels than on good clothes.

THANK YOU SO MUCH to whoever posted the cleaning instructions for the bleach soaked towels to remove ink from a dryer drum. I had an ink pen explode in my dryer and was worried that it was ruined. I tried the Clorox Clean up and other items around the house and nothing would work. I drenched a couple of towels & rags (you need a couple) in bleach and water and ran them in the dryer for about 30 minutes and the ink is basically gone! I did have to repeat this 3 times, but it was well worth it! THANKS so much for the great post!

The bleach and water with white towels did the trick for me. Just be careful when opening the dryer door, there may be some bleach in the air, and you don't want to inhale it. Thanks for the help.

Regarding the bleach and towel method, does it have to be a "white" towel? Because I have an old towel I can use, but it's not white.

OK, I would have never believed it. I simply sprayed Clorox Clean-up in my dryer and threw a few towels/rags into the dryer and ran it for about 15 min. I really didn't expect it to work that easily. Just in case I missed any ink, I sprayed one more time. Thanks so much for the idea! (08/02/2007)

Bleach works!

I soaked 4 bar mop towels I got earlier from Target in bleach and water (they are hand towel size) since they were already white. I ran the dryer on "low." I checked it in 15 minutes and the dryer was COMPLETELY CLEAN! I was so amazed that trick work. Best of all, there was NO ELBOW GREASE INVOLVED!

RE: Cleaning Ink Out of a Dryer

My son did the ink pen in the dryer too. Most of his school clothes were in there covered with ink as well as my 3 mo. old dryer drum. Non-acetone finger nail polish remover took it out of the dryer drum fairly easily. As for the clothes.... I SAVED THE CLOTHES! I couldn't believe it but I read on a site about a Biz boil. I boiled 1 item at a time in a large pot on my stove. Dissolve 1 cup of Biz laundry additive in the pot as it starts to boil and add the item of clothing. I did spray them with Spray n Wash right before dropping them in the water. The ink changed colors and disappeared! Some took up to 45 mins but it's worth the wait. I put them in the washer after the boil and washed with Tide and Biz. I got the ink out of 4 Hollister shirts that had white collars with white and colored stripes on the body AND 3 pairs of tan Polo pants. Try this before you toss the clothes! It works! These clothes were covered with hundreds of ink spots! (01/15/2008)

RE: Cleaning Ink Out of a Dryer

I used an orange-based product called Orange Blast that worked great! Sprayed it on and wiped with a rag and the ink came right off. And it's not flammable or odorous. My next load just smelled pleasantly of oranges. Not to mention- no noxious fumes while you shoulder deep in the dryer! You might try it. I'm just so glad I didn't have to buy a new dryer! BTW- It worked on the laundry too. (01/16/2008)

I tried the nail polish remover & it did not work, I tried the perfume & no luck there either. I finally tried the bleach/water on an old towel/rag & ran that in the dryer for about 30 mins. Wow! It worked! After that was done I wiped out the dryer with warm water & ran a few dryer sheets in the dryer for 10 mins. So glad I googled my problem & found these ideas. thanks! (02/14/2008)

How to you get ink out of dryer?

Answers:

RE: Cleaning Ink Out of a Dryer

The bleach+towels trick worked for me! What I did instead of using pure bleach is I sprayed Clorox Clean-Up on the dryer drum. Then I tossed two rags and a towel in the dryer. Every 15 minutes stopped the dryer and sprayed more Clorox Clean-Up. The dryer looks great! (02/17/2007)

I had a fit when my son dried his clothes with a ballpoint pen in his pocket. I had blue ink everywhere in drum, what a mess. I tried the magic sponge and non acetone nail polish remover on warm drum, worked pretty good. Drum still has a slight blue tinge, I'll try that bleach towel next. (02/21/2007)

RE: Cleaning Ink Out of a Dryer

When I got up this morning and saw my stainless steel and white dryer cover in black ink due to an exploded pen I thought it was ruined. Hubby and I used goo gone and then rubbing alcohol to get it off as much as we could and then we soaked a towel in water and poured bleach all over the towel and rung it out slightly and tossed it in the dryer on high heat - we did this two times and the dryer is as good as new - no more ink stains! We ran a regular soaking wet towel to get off the bleach residue and also a dryer sheet to remove the smell. Thank God all is well and I will always remember to check those pockets. (02/22/2007)

My tenant ruined my new drier! I tried rubbing with alchohol, nail polish remover etc etc. I read this and tried the bleach and towel trick. I am AMAZED. Just put a bleach & water soaked old towel in the drier and run at 30 minute intervals re-soaking the towel. It took me three times, but I cannot believe how easy and how well this worked. Thanks!

RE: Cleaning Ink Out of a Dryer

I recently had my first "pen in the dryer" experience. I thought I ruined the dryer. Nonetheless, I looked on this forum and tried the Magic Eraser, with nail polish remover. I cleaned the dryer a section at a time, going back over each section with clean water to remove the nail polish remover from the dryer, and to prevent the fumes from smelling my house up too bad. (I recommed opening your windows as well.) I soaked a towel in diluted bleach and put it in the dryer with a few dryer sheets to take the remaining smell out of the dryer. I love you guys! It worked, my dryer is clean again! Thank you! (03/25/2007)

RE: Cleaning Ink Out of a Dryer

Thanks for all your good info. I sent a gel ink pen through the wash and dryer, and found it when I came back from vacation. It looked like someone took a paintbrush and black paint and swabbed the inside of my couple month old dryer. Alcohol and the Mr.Clean Magic Sponge did the trick, although you still have to be a bit of a contortionist and breathe deeply outside of the dryer. I rewashed my inked clothes using the Oxy Clean, baking soda and laundry soap recipe with mixed results. Some came out clean, and some still need some work. I appreciate all the help! (04/15/2007)

RE: Cleaning Ink Out of a Dryer

Thank you! Whoever discovered the bleached soaked towels! My dryer was scary, believe me. The towels soaked in bleach worked perfect. I can hardly believe it.

I mistakenly washed and dried an ink pen. I have in on some clothing and the dryer has ink all over the drum. I've tried kitchen cleaner to remove stains on the dryer drum with no luck. Can this be removed or is my 2 year old dryer shot? Any suggestions would be welcome.

Thanks,

Hairspray

Thanks for the info on getting ink out of the dryer, the hairspray helped a lot. It doesn't take out all of the blue of the pen, I think that is now a permanent feature, but it does remove the ink that is on the surface causing the spots on the laundry.

As for getting out the ink already on the laundry try using Carbona's Stain Devils #3 Ink & Crayon. It is absolutely awesome at getting out ink stains. It also removed the ink in the dryer however hairspray is a lot cheaper.

Carbona also has other spot removers such as chewing gum & glue, fat grease & oil (awesome!!!), make-up & grass, fruit & wine and many others.

These MIGHT be found at your local Wal Mart, ShopKo etc... however I can only find them at JoAnn's Fabrics and Crafts. They are about $3.49 for 1.7 fl. oz., well worth the price when your clothes are on the line. (12/29/2004)

By Rebecca

Magic Eraser

We tried all of the above suggestions but ultimately the only two products that worked for us were Lysol and nail polish remover. Lysol was effective on the thick spots to loosen the ink only. However, the nail polish remover (non-acetone seemed to work better) soaked on a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser (with a lot of elbow grease) eventually removed all of the ink stains on the dryer drum.

Magic Eraser

I used the Mr Clean magic eraser with non-acetone nail polish remover and it worked like a charm. It took the blue ink out of my white dryer completely. I couldn't believe how it just came right out. The one thing that I do urge is for anyone else who may have to do this - make sure you ventilate your area as much as possible and do this task in stages - the fumes from the nail polish remover can really get to you if you don't.

Java Hand Cleaner

Java Hand Cleaner (red pump bottle) (removes grease, ink etc.) used by my husband after working on the car. Does take elbow grease but works even better than the nail polish remover because it has a "grit" in the product. Dryer is still stained but the majority of ink is gone. (12/09/2005)

I would also like to thank Cindy for her assistance. After trying Clorox Cleanup, Clorox Bleach, alcohol, Simple Green and calling the manufacturer, that was not helpful, I tried Mr. Clean Magic Eraser with non-acetone nail polish remover.

My Experience

I too ran into this problem in my almost new dryer. My 16 year old daughter washed and dried some clothes and came to me that there was a pen in the dryer and red spots all over the dryer drum and clothes. I read most of your posts and did a quick test on a few spots with different cleaners. Clorox Bleach® seemed to work best. BUT - I did not then rub every spot - that would be amazingly tedious. The dryer tumbles! I took an old white bath towel and put it in a pail of bleach and water (I used 2 cups to 1 gallon), squeezed it until it was not too heavy but still dripping wet and threw the towel in the dryer on Fluff (no heat) cycle. after (4) 20 minutes cycles my dryer was perfectly clean! I then dried an old blanket that i did not care if a last remnant of the stain got on for a few hours to make sure it was all out - it was! Good luck! Now off to the dry cleaners. (09/13/2006)

I recently dried a black ink pen in our brand new dryer, less than a week old.

Thank you all for the brilliant suggestion of using nail polish remover and Mr Clean magic erasers. I had already used soft scrub with bleach, oxi clean, and the magic erasers and got some of it off but it looks perfect now with the nail polish remover. I left a pen in my scrub top, and away it went in to the washer and dryer. If you do this use the others recommendations of using a fan to air the room out and open all the windows. I am SO THANKFUL for all of your help. (10/15/2006)

Acetone Nail Polish Remover

I had to remove quite a bit of blue ballpoint pen ink from inside my dryer drum. I read the posts and what I found our was this. A Mr. Clean Magic Eraser works with non-acetone nail polish remover, but only so well. I then used an acetone based nail polish remover with the eraser and it did a WAY better job! After 98% of the ink got removed, I washed a big towel in very bleach water then I dried it on the cool setting for 20 minutes, 3 times. This removed any chemical traces and got the drum as good as it could be! The best solution that I've found is to double check your pockets before washing! Good luck! (11/11/2006)

Stains on Clothing

"And has anyone tried removing the ink from clothes? Some of our clothing got stained and I was wondering if there was an easier way to get rid of it instead of bringing it to the cleaners or scrubbing it for hours in cold water."

My daughter's husband washed a gel pen. White shirts with ink stains went thru the dryer. Used 409 on the dryer and for the shirts they soaked them in BIZ stain remover. Worked great. (11/18/2006)

By Pam

Two Step Process

After trying everything I found a solution that works!

It is a two step process.

Step One: Put rubbing Alcohol in a spray bottle - spray drum, let stand for a few minutes with door shut. Open to air out with window open than clean. Or take a more longer less smell method and clean with a rag soaked in alcohol.

Step Two: Use straight bleach. Pour bleach in a large mouth measuring cup - fits in dryer well. Apply to dryer with a old rag completely soaking & covering surface, shut dryer let stand for 30 min. If necessary repeat, soak up bleach with old towel and wash drum out completely.

Test dryer with old colored towel to make sure bleach is completely washed out before using.

Your dryer is white once again! (11/20/2006)

Kaboom Cleaner

Thanks for the info, also found that using Kaboom cleaner takes the ink right out, heat the dryer first, then use the bleached towel afterwards to make sure all the cleaner comes out. Don't use the Spray Kaboom, use the cleanser version in the squeeze bottle that looks like an upside down ketchup bottle. (01/17/2007)

Magic Eraser

Magic eraser and nail polish remover! WORKS LIKE A CHARM! Let the dryer heat up for about 10 minutes then go to work. No elbow grease needed. You are left with a spotless dryer and a little bit of a headache from the fumes. (01/27/2007)

Gojo

Gojo (abrasive orange garage soap/cleaner) works great! No need to de-fume or heat up dryer before hand. Just use a kitchen sponge to scrub on and a wet washcloth to wash off and you're all done! (01/28/2007)
