How can you remove the black ink from a rub-a-dub laundry marking pen your dryer and possibly blue jeans?

To remove black ink from a rub-a-dub laundry marking pen from your dryer and possibly blue jeans, you can try the following methods:

For the dryer:

1. Rubbing alcohol: Apply rubbing alcohol to a clean cloth and rub it on the ink stains. Be careful not to rub too hard, as this could spread the ink.

2. WD-40: Spray a small amount of WD-40 on the ink stains and let it sit for a few minutes. Wipe it off with a clean cloth.

3. Acetone (nail polish remover): Use a cotton ball soaked in acetone to dab at the ink stains. Be sure to test a small area first to make sure it doesn't damage the fabric.

4. Hairspray: Spray hairspray on the ink stains and let it sit for a few minutes before wiping it off with a clean cloth.

5. Dish soap: Mix a solution of dish soap and water. Apply the solution to the ink stains and scrub them with a soft brush. Rinse thoroughly.
