Help! Have got pen all over my white clothes!

[JustOneLastThing]

Is there any way to get them to wearable. There were three of my work tunics in the wash and DP forgot to check the pockets. There were two pens in there! Have used white spirit and vanish with limited effects

I would try hydrogen peroxide.

Someone posted on another thread saying to soak pen stains in whole milk. I believe alcohol can help too. Hand gel is mainly alcohol so you can try that if you don't want to waste the vodka.

What kind of pen?

Gel ink or biro, soak them in milk, excellent stuff

Try Nail polish remover pads or just a cloth or cotton wool pad soaked in nail polish remover as that can work on pen marks.
The acetone in nail polish remover is good at removing paint & ink stains.

If it's Biro, spray with hairspray before washing. Honestly, it works!

If not washed, or washed but still wet then try hairspray.

Meths and WD 40 got the contents of a burst gel pen out of DS1's carpet

Snap! Works with felt tip, white board marker too.

Ace bleach?

Acetone nail polish has taken lots of the colour out but need to repeat again

Try milk for ink.
