I heard that babywipes will get the ink out of clothes. They say use a baby to plot the stain and then lay it over with a bit of pressure let it set for a hour or more and the use a stain remover spray and wash. I havent got to try it yet but I do know that it worked on lock tight from when I worked at trailer factory. Good luck!

Hello. This happened to me. A load of dark clothes was washed and dried with a red ink pen. I used hairspray on the clothes and had a cloth to rub the ink out. It works!

You might try a breath spray or hair spray. Spray on and let soak in for a bit since it's dry. May have to treat a few times. This should help at least.

Removing Ink on Dried Clothes

My wife had a pen from work in her pants and put them in the dryer. I was able to remove the ink from the dryer, thanks to the nail polish remover and Magic Eraser trick. Now what is the best way to remove ink from the clothes? I am assuming they are just done.
