How do I remove pen ink from clothes?
Question:The clothes have been washed and dried (where the pen busted). It's orange ink and is all over (in little splotches) the clothes. I don't want to have to scrub each little spot, so what's the best stuff to use?! HELP!! Comet cleaned the drier drum, but I'm unsure of putting Comet on my clothes, b/c they aren't white...they are darks. Any help is appreciated!

Its kind of funny, but there is this stuff called Lectic Shave. Its aftershave for men (I can't imagine how it feels on the face), but it is a miracle worker. Its gets just about anything out of anything without ruining the fabric. Go nuts!
You can find it at any local pharmacy or store like Walgreens or CVS
Biz Boil will get out anything (I suppose almost anything.. but I haven't seen what that would be yet)
Put a 1/2 cup Biz (found in the same place as bleach alternatives) in a large bucket (5 gal is ideal) - add in 2 gallons of boiling water. Stir to disapate the Biz into the boiling water. Add pants, let sit until water cools.
Remove pants & look to see if stain is gone
If not - repeat by simply adding some more boiling water & then let sit overnight
If so, toss in washing machine with other items of simlar color & wash temp... proceed as normal
and for future reference. either keep a bar of Fel Naptha Soap on hand or buy some Naptha LIghter fluid to apply to ink stains as soon as you see them
As for me.. I just keep a bar of Fels Naptha & a bar of Octagon along with Borax, vingar, baking soda, OxyClean, and Biz --- I have yet to see a stain (even stubborn set-in stains) that I can't get out
