What is the best ink pen out there for under $5?

What would be the best way to get ball point pen ink off the drum of my dryer?

  • A work pen went through the wash in one of my uniforms. What a mess!

  • Answer:

    There's a product called 'Goof-Off' that works really good for those types of accidents. Unplug the dryer. As with any solvent type cleaner, you may want to wash/wipe the area after cleaning to remove any residue. Run the dryer with the heat turned off for 5-8 minutes for ventilation. It will also lessen the stain on your uniform.

A bottle of Goofoff did it for me- It will take about 15 to 20 minutes of labor. Gosh I hate when I do that,

Try rubbing alcohol instead. It is a mixture of isopropyl alcohol and water. It isn't as volatile as acetone (nail polish remover) and since it is mixed with water, it won't smell as much. If not cleaning fast enough, add a little acetone to the rubbing alcohol. As far as safety, if you leave the dryer door open, the residual solvent will quickly evaporate.

Alcohol or acetone but be very careful the fumes are very flammable don't inhale. *******Unplug the dryer or shut off the gas as well first.

put a load of towels threw the washer, and hopefully when they hit the dryer the towels might wipe it clean with the dampness.

Try hair spray. I used it to remove ink and blood stains from my uniforms, hopefully if you spray enough on the drum it will wipe clean.

A bleach water solution. Dip a wash cloth in it and wipe clean. I had this issue last month...lol this worked for me but I did it right away. Good luck, hope this helped.
