Default Ink Pen in Dryer!

Wondering if anyone knows how to get ink out of a dryer?? DH decided to leave a nice blue ink pen in the dryer!
I tried nail polish remover...which didn't get it out and now stinks too! Anyone else have this wonderful experience??

I had this happen in my NEW front loading dryer. Try nail polish remover and magic eraser (Mr Clean) that worked for me. But not for all people as it depends on the nk properties.
Some people try bleach soaked towels (house reeks after) and that works too.

Let us know how it goes!

Use hairspray. Hairspray makes ink run like water.

Be very careful with any fumes
and the potential of fire or flames.

Mr. Clean Eraser is pretty amazing. I'd try that first.

That would work....but because of the alcohol in it...why not try alcohol swabs? Then you can clean it again with soap and water to remove any left over alcohol.
