My husband left a ink pen in his pants and it got washed and dried. Now when I dry other clothes it gets ink spots on the clothes. So how do I get the ink out of the washer(it does not seem to be getting ink on clothes), dryer, and the clothes?
Give me your email:

Oops misread when I gave my initial answer. Same cure but the rest I took out.
Try some rubbing alcohol or acetone. Just be careful wiping it out- the fumes can build up in there.
Wipe out the washer and dryer with a sponge and gentle cleaner like dishwashing liquid. You can run a tub of water in the washer to be sure.
For the clothes I have found a product called “Zout” to be extremely helpful. Target sells it in their laundry soap section in both a spray and liquid. It is very gentle and works on most ink and blood stains.
My husband has been guilty of this more times than I want to count….
Spray some WD-40 on a rag and wipe the stain, this should bring the ink off. Good Luck!
Try cleaning the ink stains with hair spray.
There is a product called InkAway that removes it instantly from garments and the washer/dryer drums. You can also use WD-40 inside the drums to remove the ink. For the ink spots on clothing, rubbing alcohol saturated on the stain and blotting into a terry towel beneath will remove it. Alcohol works on parts of the washer/dryer drum that are metal but doesn’t work as well on the plastic parts. Just be sure to fully allow the WD-40 to fully dissapate before using the dryer, it is flammable.

Motsenbocker’s Lift Off #3 ^^^^^ Good stuff
Biodegradable water based product designed to specifically remove most inks including permanent markers, indelible inks, ballpoint pens, dried fingernail polish and correction fluid.
WD 40 for the dryer and hairspray for the clothes. Get a cheap bottle of hairspray, pump it on the ink and rub with a dry cloth. Sounds nuts but I swear it works!
Good luck,

Nail polish remover. It works on the inside of the dryer as well as getting it off clothes.
WHEN THE DRYER IS COOL, try to locate the spots and spray them with hair spray. Immediately try to wipe off with a dry cloth. Or, you may need to use a scrubby dipped in detergent.
