My idiot son washed his clothes and then dried them. When I went to take them out of the dryer I found an ink pen unfortunately it was broken. All the clothes have ink on them now. I really hope and pray that they're not ruined. What can I use to get it out???
Please Can Anyone Help????

My husband did this with our uniforms, it was a real mess (gel ink was the culprit). I worked really hard to get all the ink out, it took me a few days.
To remove the ink marks you can spot treat with Vodka and allow to sit for a few minutes.
Or use purell to saturate the ink stain and blot with a paper towel, repeat, the stains will fade more each time until it disappears.
You may need to try Sugar Paste: Sugar Paste, made of sugar and water, and allowed to sit for one hour, then wash as usual. This will usually remove anything!!
Hope this helps, and good luck!

Since the stuff is dried the best you could possibly do is fade it.
The best solution I have found for ink, believe it or not, is hairspray.
Spray it directly on the spot and wipe it in a circular motion with a dry rag before the hairspray dries. The ink should come up on the rag.

Aerosol hairspray is the best ink remover. Arrange the garment so the hairspray can start to puddle up on top of the mark as you spray it for several seconds. It will soak on in, then let it sit for a few minutes, then rub. Should work.

I worked in retail and we used to get ink on everything. Hairspray takes it out. Spray and rub with a rag and watch it magically disappear. You may have to work at it since you have a whole pen's worth of ink on everything.
When I just have a little mark, I spray and rub the material with itself and it disappears every time.
Let me know how it works out.

I am sure the hairspray doesn't work cuz they were dried. On anything white you could use a bleach pen. Otherwise, I think you may need to go shopping if hairspray didn't work.Sorry!

Cheap Cheap Cheap Hairspray. I'm talking like Suave $0.97 bottles. Spray it & keep rubbing until it comes out.

The fact that they've already been dried may be your downfall, but do try rubbing alcohol.

P.S. Don't be too hard on him. He probably feels bad enough...
