jeans + pens = disaster

wicked off topic but i had to post this somewhere.

washed my clothes didnt know i had a pen in the pocket of one of my jeans. i discovered when i took my clothes out the dryer it was all covered in ink. any advices or is it long gone....? thanks

 

All over or just spots Hmmmm- mabye a dry cleaner if its really worth saving otherwise ,start a new fashion trend by convincing your freinds there all the new rage in Europe.LOL

 

random spots on the front of my tees quite ghastly =\ lol

 

make more spots and turn it into a design.
cut spots out and makes holes into a design

 

Hydrogen peroxide may work on ink...there`s also a product called "goof-off" that may work. Goof-Off is available at Home Depot or other home improvement stores. And this, for sure, will work....hair spray. Hair spray will take ink out of anything.

 

hope this hairspray thing works thanks lol =P

 

FYI...for future references...have you dried them?? If you treat it before the dryer...you have a WAY MUCH MORE (pardon my bad english) of a chance getting the stain out!!

just add color, and make tie-dye, and new art........wobbles

 

I know hairspray is supposed to work. Ive seen it mentioned. Faded a stain i had a bit a while ago.

 

Heres what I did, being the pioneer that i am... I had the same incident.... So i died my pants black, stone washed them (accidentally ripping half a leg off, so now its one pant leg and one shorts....) And went to school and everyone thought my pants were "hardcore" (excuse my AMERICAN.... ) lol... Any ways, i saw a kid on my way to school who had one leg black and another leg blue on his pants.... looked pretty bad to me! (bad as in SWEET!, once again its our damn american slang lol)

 

Yeah...take pens out your jeans before washing them in future

We all do it at least once before we learnt to check all pockets every time. My pet hate is tissues...man...they make such a mess and clog the dryer once they get wet.

 

I use "Shout" on all my stains, it even works on small ink stains , ...IF.. i let it soak on the stain all week then i wash it.

But you got large stains so i'm not sure how good it will work, give it a try, spray the heck out of it an let it soak in all week,you got nothing to lose.

 

i managed to lighten the stains with all those things. damn i learned my lesson. i'm gonna be extra careful nowadays lol thanks everyone. everything helped alot.

 

Club soda works too..... Lol i just remembered.. (or ginger ale, same thing basically, OR Tonic Water.... it all works, let it soak in though)
