Biro washed in trousers - how to remove stains?

DH helpfully put on a load of washing yesterday, and left a biro in his jeans pocket! The jeans, t-shirts etc are all streaked with black...I don't hold out much hope of getting those stains out, but he put the load in the tumble dryer and the drum is streaked all over! I have rubbed at the stains with Purell, that anti-bacterial cleaner, and the alcohol seems to dissolve the stains with a lot of rubbing. Just wondered if anyone had any better suggestions? I really need to get the stains off completely!

Oh dear.

I have never effectively removed biro from anything.

Did your DH do that on purpose so he won't be asked to help again??

Did you try cillet bang or fairy powerspray on the drum?

Vanish oxi action works on some clothes if you spray them every 20 mins or so for a couple of hours and then wash.

HTH Good luck.
