Question
Hi I got a heck of a problem.  Somehow a ink pen got inside my dryer while the clothes were drying and ink got all over the barrell of the dryer and on the clothes.  I have tried to remove the stains from the barrell of the dryer with hairspray but it will not come off. Would you know how I could get the stains out of the dryer because I am afraid if I wash a new load and dry them the clothes will get ink on them.  Also how can I get the ink out of the clothes that have already been dried?  I appreciate all your help.

Answer
 There is only one product that I have found that consistantly gets ink out and that is "Ink Away".  I've seen it in hobby stores, hardware stores.  You will probably have to use several bottles of it if you have a lot of clothes. It will also get it off your dryer.  You may be able to soak some of the clothes in water and a bottle of the Ink Away, I've done that but chances are you'll need to use it on each stain.  I've never had it eat away at the fabric either.
