What if you got a couple of gallons of alcohol and soaked the clothes in it? It's fairly inexpensive. Sharon C.

He had an ink pen in his pocket that got all over my cotton blend clothes. Then my daughter put the clothes in the dryer. The ink is water based and when trying to remove the ink it bleeds making the end spots bigger. May husband did this before and I washed the clothes several times and removed some of the ink but not all. This time the ink blots are massive and all over my clothes. Does anyone have advice as to what to do to remove the ink blots? I am so upset that my new summer clothes are so messed up.
