Ink on Clothes that Have Dried |
|
|
I had washed some clothes and after they were put in the dryer and were dried, I noticed that a pen was in the dryer. Now my whites have ink stains set in. Is there anything that I can do to get the ink out?

I just heard a pen rolling around in the dryer. Went to discover ink all over my husband and my khakis. I am hoping to remove the ink with the tips I have just learned about. Thanks for such a great site with advice on how to get it out. I thought I was 60 bucks down the drain.

On clothes that have ink stains and have been laundered, I spray some hairspray on them and then pour some rubbing alcohol on then take an old toothbrush and scrub the ink out! I have used this method twice and it worked each time!

WOW.. thanks everyone. I used OxiClean (4-6 scoops and rewashed twice) and some OxiClean stain spray as well. Almost All the ink was removed. the towels soaked in bleach water was an awesome idea for the dryer.

Shout. Shout is the best stain remover for clothing. Just spray some on the areas, let it sit for 2-3 mins, and then stick in washer at normal settting (warm water). If it doesn't come out the first time, second times will always work. I did it for all of my five kids!! Works great!!

My husband ran 2 new pairs of jeans, socks and a new shirt through the washer and the dryer when i went to unload the dryer I found the ink everywhere. 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.

Nail polish remover also gets ink out of the dryer easily!

My husband got the ink stains out of the clothes by putting pine sol on the stains.

You didn't say what type of ink pen it was! If it's ball-point ink, the only way I know is to take a cool dryer & spray hairspray inside on the ink spots. (this works best with pall point ink) then after it's sat a few seconds, wipe it out with paper towels.
---> I also know they make a commercial ink remover because I had a friend who bought Sears "guarantee plan" when they bought a lounge recliner * the 8 year old wrote all over it with ball point pen. Well, the company Sears hired came out & cleaned that whole chair with a rag & a spray ink cleaner & EVERY BIT of that ink came out! ... It was truly AMAZING!... The guy said they sell that stuff, So Google "Commercial Ink Remover" or "Janitor Supplies".

I just started using this new Spray n' Wash that has oxy clean in it. It has two sides that combine when you squirt it on. I have gotten stains out of clothes that have been washed mutlple times. It works really well. I spray it on and let it sit over night. You can see it fizzing and the stain just disapears. It is great and worth a a try.

Cheap hairspray is great for taking ink out of clothes. Saturate the ink stains with hair spray, let stand for a while, then treat with pretreatment stuff. (I just use my own homemade laundry soap.) Hope this helps! (09/05/2004)

I don't know if this will work since the clothes have already dried, but it's worth a try. Two suggestions: first try spraying hairspray (any brand) on the ink & relaundering. If this doesn't work Amway makes a wonderful stain/spot remover solution called SA8 Solutions PreWash. This gets out more stains than I ever thought imaginable - including lipstick. It comes in two formulas aerosol spray & liquid. I use the liquid because it lasts longer than the aerosol spay (a bottle lasts me almost a year). This is a petroleum based product & that makes it different than most stain removers you can by at the store. Good luck! (09/07/2004)

There is a great stain remover called "Zout" that has removed ink on my clothes. I use it regularly on baby clothes. (09/24/2004)

RE: Ink on Clothes that Have Dried
Thanks to anyone that gave me the suggestion on "how to remove ink from a clothes dryer" i soaked some old rags in clorox and water and squeezed out the solution just a little and put the rags in the dryer and after two complete cycles, all the ink was gone. It was wonderful. Most of all, i had tried everything and this was the only thing that worked.
