I was having a great day on Monday. I got out of bed on time, got some housework done, took the kids to Mother's Day out, went running outside, walked the dogs, cleaned the house and started the laundry, and was even able to sit down and read a book for 45 minutes. It was a GREAT day......until I opened up the dryer to get the clothes out and as soon as I took out the first article of clothing I exclaimed OH NO!!!
There were pens marks everwhere!! And not just one or two small pen marks but multiple pen marks/spots, some of them pretty large. I started pulling out the clothes one by one PRAYING that maybe it was just on a couple items (although I really knew that wouldn't be the case). After about the 7th piece of damaged clothing I just didn't want to see anymore and shut the dryer door. I was SO mad!!!
After taking some time to cool off I finished taking out the clothes to survey the damage. Too bad it wasn't just those small loads of laundry....nope it was a LARGE load of clothes and there were only 5 items of clothing that didn't have a pen mark on them.
And all of this because after working all night long (which means I had been up for 24 hours straight since I have a son that no longers naps)......I forgot to take out the pen from my scrub pocket!!!
And ironically, my scrub top was one of the items that came out of the dryer WITHOUT any pen marks!!
Am I the only one who has done this?? any suggestions?? (hairspray doesn't work)
And no I did not do this on purpose so I could get some new clothes....there were very few items that were actually mine.

Oh the things we blog about. lol
There is a spray and wash called "Zout" that works on most things- but I'm not sure about ink-you might try it though.
I've done it before! I'm afraid it did not turn out well.
Oh no! I haven't done that, but there's lots of on-line advice if you google it... :) here's what one of them said:
"Mr Clean Magic Eraser. It works. And to get the ink out of your clothes...Use a large pot on the stove with about 3/4 cup of Biz in it. Bring water to a boil add shirt and boil for about 45 min to an hour. Let water cool then launder shirt. This will get out even set in ink."
Let us know if you find anything that works. Maybe you could tye dye some of the clothes??
