My husband left a ball point pen in his clothes pocket, and after removing the clothes from the dryer, I discovered all the clothes have blue ink splattered on them and the dryer drum is a mess!

Have you tried ACETONE?

I'd suggest Goof Off or De-Solves-It. You can get either at a local retailer such as Target or WalMart. I suggest spraying it in the dryer where the ink is and then AFTER you get all ink removed, be certain to rinse all residue of the Goof Off or De-Solves-It off prior to placing any clothes in the dryer because both are oil based and will stain your clothes next time you go to use the dryer!! Hope it all works out!

Hair spray is the best thing I have ever found for regular ink.
You can use it on the clothing, and you can use it on the dryer drum. For the clothing, saturate the area where the ink is well with hair spray (the cheaper the spray, the better it will work), and then relaunder as usual. For the dryer, spray it on, let it sit a minute, then wipe it off with a damp cloth. Repeat if necessary. Problem solved!

I've heard hairspray would get it out of clothes. Try a spot and see. DO NOT SPRAY into the dryer.

Scrub the stain with a washcloth dipped in alcohol and
rinse it with clean water. OR
Squeeze lemon juice on the stain, place stained item
between two pieces of cloth, and press ink stain onto
the surrounding fabric. Wash as usual.

Goof Off removes ink, paint, glue, caulk, gum, and so on. You can find it at homecenters.

TRY SPRAYING THE DRUM WITH A AEROSOL HAIR SPRAY, AND WIPE CLEAN. YOU ALSO MIGHT TRY FINGERNAIL POLISH REMOVER THE ONE THAT CONTAINS ACETONE.
