Just curious... did you hang them outside to dry? The sunlight will get rid of stains. So maybe that helped???

I love Oxyclean! So happy that your bags came clean. When I have a stain I make a paste of Oxy & Shout & let it sit for a few hours. I usually have really good results.

I'm so glad that the spots got lighter. I hate when that happens. I've had that happen with pens and chapstick. I'm always careful to check pockets, but sometimes a pen just sneaks in.

Just make sure you throw some old towels into your dryer for a run through before putting in anything good again.There could be leftover ink on the tub. Ask me how I know!!

I was upset and mad but yes I did exactly that. Then wiped out the dryer well. It is terrible. I know I REALLY checked those bags good, I just don't know how I missed that pen....

Take care

I LOVE Oxyclean!!!! I made my sister a light pink/light green pinwheel tablerunner. My iron spewed orange rusty water all over the pink. I was sick. Decided not to give it to her. Made a paste of the oxy and it got EVERY bit out.
It is amazing stuff!!! Glad it worked for you :thumbup:

Hair spray will get ink out. Spray it till you see it spread. Don't worry, wash it. If some remain, spray it again. I leave pens in pockets all the time. Works like a charm. I even get laundry pen marks off walls with it. Also, alcohol works wonders too on some things.
