Question: Ball point ink stains. A ball point pen broke in my dryer. How do I get the ink out of the clothes (all cotton)? -- Helen helen@odegard.com Helen Granberry (Ref:0646)
Answer: Most experts advise using methylated spirits (methyl alcohol), followed by a wash. UK based readers are fortunate for they can easily buy a "Stain Devil", a range of chemical stain removers, one of which is designed to remove ballpoint stains. They are available but less easily found in the US. The manufacturers are a company called Carbona, www.dyemagnet.com -- www.qznaz.com
Answer: Stain Devils Hi, I notice in the how to remove stains section, someone recommended "Stain Devil" and implied that it was not readily available, except in the UK. If you ask your search engine to find "Westons", they are a pharmaceutical supply company that advertise on the web, and have "Stain Devils" for all manner of stains.

Answer: Use hairspray -- Davina Martin
Answer: Ball Point Pen Removal
Try using aerosol hair spray applied directly to the stain. ( I usually isolate the stain with an old cloth) spray it, leave it overnite and launder as normal. Good Luck! The cheaper the hairspray the better. jlangelaan1@cognspeco.ca 21/07/2005Question: Ink spotted jeans. Hello, I need some help. I put a load of jeans into the dryer. When I took them out there were ink spots all over the jeans. Low and behold there was an ink pen along with the jeans. Is there a way to remove the ink spots? It's not like one or two places on the pants. It's all over the pants and anywhere from a dot of ink to a blotch of ink. I hope someone has a solution, as I really don't want to have to purchase everyone new jeans. Thanks, Crystal. -- "zigmystr" zigmystr@email.msn.com (Ref:0005)
Question: Ballpoint ink stain in dryer Help!! A loose ballpoint pen landed in my dryer and all over the clothes inside. I have read some suggestions about removing ink from clothes but what about the dryer itself. I feel as though I have ruined it and it is less than a year old. Can you help? -- Dadams15@columbus.rr.com (Dennis Adams)
Question: Ink Removal I have a problem. A pen exploded in my dryer and got all over my clothes. I did not discover that this had happen until I went to take the clothes out of the dryer. I know that hairspray may work if the ink is still wet. My problem is that the ink is already dry. Any suggetions??? Any help would be great! Thanks, -- "Joy" jeasterwood@c-gate.net
Answer: Marks on Walls. For pencil and pen marks on walls ...just dip a cloth in milk and rub the mark. This always works for me...Vanessa -- joenspandvan@ozenospammail.com.au 5 May 2005
Answer: Removing Ink Stains. To remove ink stains from clothing, simply spray the dry fabric with hair spray. Then treat with your regular pre-treating spray, or blot with a damp cloth, and voila! It's gone. I've even done this at work, after getting an ink stain on white pants, while wearing them!!!! It came off, too! As always, test a small spot, first!
